Not that far removed from some of the BBQ joints we have here. Regarding the comments on exposure: I know there are a number of pros who are so familiar with a particular emulsion that they can get the exposure right by eye. I was not one of those, nor a pro, and had to have a meter. For most of my photography, a reflective meter was best (measuring light from the position of the camera). Since they are available for next to nothing on the used market, one might help you correlate the exposure with what you estimate by eye. Some of the scenes you had were really challenging for exposure. Pointing a reflective meter at the area of interest, e.g., away from the sky or brightest parts, may help. I can recommend the Gossen LunaPro. With regard to the lab burning a CD: For a few $ more they may be able to burn it as a 16-bit tif instead of a jpg. Then you will have more to work with in imaging software. You are obviously in a photographically interesting area, as opposed to my photographically challenged site. Best of luck.
