This was my first portrait attempt, and I'd like to know what I could
have done differently to produce "better" results. For instance, does
the shallow DOF work, or should I have stopped down to include the rest

I am surprised that the camera store helper did not use a changing bag to
help you with your camera or go into the dark room. You might want to
consider the largest changing bag you can afford as they are pretty
Because they're smart enough to know that terrorists might build a bomb
into a camera. but not smart enough to realize that they would try to keep
it looking like a camera as much as possible.
It's probably a liability issue. If you don't check...
I am amazed that if I wear a pager or cell pho
I think the reason is they believe that if a camera body has been gutted in
order to put in explosives or other such stuff that the viewfinder optics
could/might be destroyed or effected. I would rather they look than not and

Although I am a longtime LX owner, I just recently (a few weeks ago) fell
victim to what I have now know as the "sticky mirror" phenomenon. Somebody
please tell me that this is fixable and then tell me where to send it.
Thanks.

Great stuff. It almost makes all our gyrations about electronic gizmos,
coated lenses, and hot-rod emulsions seem silly.
Regarding their speculation about how the images were made (a one-lens
camera with the film moved for each color layer,) I must say I have my
doubts. They say that they don't

moving set of photographs -- and probably also an example of
found art, since these were undoubtedly made for data purposes,
not display.
I had recently installed a large Ricoh rubber eyecup onto my Super Program.
Each time I opened or closed the camera's hinged back, the eyecup got in

the rubber.
When I attempted to rewind the most recent roll of film, the

Thanks everybody, for a lot of information on how to handle contrasty subjects; was
just noticing that the Sunny 16 rule is what I would have got had I carried an
incident light meter along.
Just a thought: would using high speed film help? I understand they offer lowered
contrast.
