Well, I finally made it out to the gardens at the Magnolia Plantation. I can't say enough about the place - everywhere I looked there was a beautiful scene, animal, or flower to photograph, and the weather turned out to be perfect - first foggy, then sunny with everything covered in dew, and then it showered lightly for ten minutes, and the sun came out again and everything was covered in rain drops. Most of my shots were taken on Velvia, so it may be quite some time before I'm able to show any of them here. However, I did shoot one roll of regular color film, and this picture is my favorite from that roll.

I straightened this picture out a bit; it seems the bridge I was standing on wasn't quite level or else I had my tripod improperly set up. Interestingly, as a side note, this film is actually some generic film I grabbed at a sale at Walgreens going for 99 cents a roll. I shot it mostly out of curiousity, but I can't say the results were horrible. Thanks everyone for looking! And come with me next time, I'll probably be going again next Sunday :) rg2 -- "the subject of a photograph is far less important than its composition" -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
