You got it!
I have been getting 24 exposure rolls developed of auto focus 35mm pictures with all possible configurations and have had decent luck. I get in shows and have samples for what I need, but I have a REASON now for them and I swear, I am blowing 50%.
The oils I have done recently I take outside on a bright, but shaded patio and lay an old black overcoat, felt side out, on a wall or bench to make a neutral background.
The shade lets a lot of light in but if there is no direct illumination it keeps it from going really washed out or blue.
In my digital I can try for a tilt or distortion and take the parallax out in the photo-shop but the slides are just there.
The processing is only $8 and the film is $6.50 so if I get one good one it is still a bit cheaper than the $25 a slide the pros charge. And I usually get at least 4, used to be 10 but I am trying to photograph my sueded mat pastel pieces and they are a bummer.
On paper I get as far as I can and use the strobe in daylight. It seems to make a cleaner color balance in spite of the sunshine but it is lousy on shiny surfaces. My 10x optical zoom is the BEST!
IF I ever had the time to go take a seminar on photography again I would completely implode from lack of time but might actually get a tall tripod so I don't have to keep stacking phone books to get the lens centered!
Good luck, good work!
