Thanks for the tips, David!
As for prints from the 400CN, I'll probably just have negatives made,
then scan them at home. Any prints will come from the digital scans,
which I assume will help produce less-funky results.
I've looked around Flickr at scans made from UltraMax and, from what

If you've made it past the 6th grade then you should consider becoming a brain

Thanks, John!
I put all of my film in the freezer as soon as I got home, since I'm
just not sure how often I'll use it. Whenever I get ready to use it,
I'll pull it out and stick it in a zip lock bag with a little silica gel
pouch overnight to keep any condensation from getting to it.
Dammit! I knew I was forgetting something last time I left the camera
shop! Been meaning to get one of those for a while.
I've clearly got a lot to learn, and appreciate all the help everyone's
giving me.
Thanks, Paul.

Thanks for the explanation, Collin.
When Paul said to overexpose, I was actually thinking it sounded
counter-intuitive -- that you'd want to under-expose in a snowy
situation. But, it makes sense now that you explained that the meter
assumes a neutral grey.
So, I'm assuming that in

All great shots, Ann -- but that first one is just completely enchanting.
Wonderful!

when it comes to nailing exposures in difficult situations, the gray card or
incident meter is the easy way out.

Very cool, Bob!
I've seen two large hawks near near my home within the past several
months, but haven't even come close to getting a decent shot of one.
It's getting a little frustrating, I must say.

Thanks, Jack!
I know a lot of people just don't like vignetting as a general rule.
I'm not crazy about it in most cases, but I do like using it from time
to time -- but almost exclusively in b/w shots. I do try to use it
sparingly -- as soft as possible. But, I can see where some find
Thanks, David! Glad you liked the barn shots. It's a distinctive
old hulk, to be sure.
I actually considered using the RAW + JPG setting, but I only had a 2
Gig card in the camera at the time, and figured most of the shots were
just going to be throw-aways. So, I figured I'd just take
This time, it was indeed intentional. ;-)
From the north-side angle of the barn shots, the sky was a very flat,
bland mass of strato-cumulus cloud cover, so I figured a little bit of
vignette would add a touch of drama and bring out the highlights in the
barn lumber. I just went ahead
I hadn't really thought about that, but you do have a point. :-)
