However, I never stood still long enough in the dark room to give it a try as people were what photography was all about. :-). But I know from camera club activities way back then it was a hot item to put clouds into other pictures for the monthly photo competition. :-) And boy some those "really old guys" were very very good and did it without PhotoShop! ;-) Of course one didn't relate to becoming one of those "really old guys some day!" ;-) So tell us, are you taking your camera tomorrow? ;-) ted
