Janetrr1, I forgot to add the camera I used for the MetroPark shots were done with a Minolta manual SLR model SRTSC-II. I have cut my teeth with this camera and its a great way to learn photography. I have 3 lens, a 28mm macro, 50mm and 100mm. I also have a x2 doubler but it doesn't quite take sharp pics. I suspect the camera shutter shakes and slightly blurs the shot at low light, slow speeds.

Hi janetrr1, so nice of you to comment on the racoon picture. I'm looking at a new 35mm racoon pic that just came in today. I'll add it as soon as I scan it. The one you see on the album now was taken with a Fujifilm Finepix 1300 digital camera using a flash. All the flower pics were taken with the Finepix 1300 using fluorescent lighting. Outdoors, I like to use the digital to test the shot and if I like it I will go back and do it in 35mm. The Finepix 1300 has its limitations. Works best as a closeup and medium shot point and shoot camera. Scenics are just not as crisp nor detailed for me. I just love the way I can shoot and show in few minutes and there is no cost for film. I can shoot to my hearts content. The 8mb card can hold about 87 640x480 pics and 24 1280x960 pics. Haven't had any printed yet so can't tell you about the quality of the prints. Works great for online pics. My new baby is a Nikon N80 with a Quantaray Sigma 28mm-300mm lens. Doing a series of test rolls to learn the camera's ability. Keep checking for new albums and thanks again for the swell comments. Henry

Thanks for your message, Chris. Winter is a time for most of mother nature to take a rest. Springtime here in northern Ohio is a time of renewal and soon will have more pics to share with you. God bless. Henry
