Nice one, Shel! The pair with the sunglasses seem to be together, and the look from her to him is great. They are also both holding onto the 'hold on" bars - kinda cool. I have mixed thoughts about the folks who saw you, but obviously they were cool with your photo taking. - MCC - - - - - - - -

Hello Collin, Now that is a loaded question. Partly depends on money and needs. Picture Window Pro only costs about $90 and has full 16 bit support and full color management support. I find it more powerful and versatile than Elements 3, which I also have. But, if you already have Elements, or

I could shoot from a distance of 1.5 - 2 meters with the Pentax SFXn and the Tamron 90mm macro + polarizer and the AF280T flash on Superia ISO 100 negative film. Negative scanned with the Canon 9900F, uncropped but slight
