So there.... I had a great time in Regina. Re the digital stuff... Mark Roberts, you have to dig up a quote - someone here predicted I'd go digital within a year while I wildly protested - that was , um about 2 years ago. I have gone digital, partly to save money partly to get with the program, so to speak. I wish I could afford the best of the digital equipment - but I'll have to limp along with my Canon PRo-1 - which at least feels like a "real" camera and is light enough for me to hold and mostly keep steady. I need to learn lots more about post processing, which includes being more patient with it. I do want to keep concentrating on getting it right in the field, but sometimes one captures something that is worth showing and things get in the way. Paul already taught me stuff in just a couple of hours in front of his computer when I visited and his techno knowledge is pretty damn impressive, I'd say. I'm not giving up my Lx, KX or my Pentax glass, though - and I've got hundreds of negs and slides that I can dig through to put stuff on PUG :) ann
