Rudy looks like he's dreaming of Southern California sun - LOL. Nice shot of the dude. Anyway, help on Camera w/ film. I would shoot slide film (Fuji Velvia 100). Why slide (or positive)? because what you shoot is what you get.If you shoot negative the local lab could print it to their own adjustments in colors, contrast, etc. which might not show you the true image you took. Slide film teaches you to be very accurate. Forget getting a slide projector. Just get a light table and a Lupe. I recommend the Peak 4x. Learn to analyse your work with that set up.Now go to it Girl - put your order in with Santa before it's too late. Mark
