I'd give you the exact location, but the silly-a** Mac I'm on at a client's office is not running a correct browser. I prefer ISO 160 chrome stock. You can try professional ISO 400 and 800 color print films, but you'll probably have to deal with an auto-exposure processor-printer that will make your blacks and whites grey, aka dull.

Lock the mirror up if you're using an SLR. Bracket a lot (the display's not going anywhere, so you have time). Be mindful of reciprocity failure. Fill the thermos with hot cocoa. -Chris Lawson > I'm interested in shooting some xmas trees at night (outdoors). I plan to > use a tripod, I suppose. But how should I meter the trees?
