Developing your film

[Crosslight]

Hey

You know, I want to get some speed and night shots. But, speed takes lots of light, and night shots take lots of light too...

I am not sure how to go about the night shots on my digital camera..
and, early in the morning, when I want to catch a bird flying across the early morning lake with a reflection. the birds are coming out blurry and sometimes very dark.

All of this is with my digital camera..
now, I have a 35 minolta.. and a k-1000 pentax.. but, hey.. with my digital.. I can take hundreds of pictures and not spend the money on developing.. but with the 35m.. that would cost me a bunch. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a great place to develop that you have learn to trust? How does it work.. can I get my pics online?

Hey,

First, what kind of digital camera do you have? A point-and-shoot or an SLR? Night time shots can be done with a tri-pod and slower shutter speed. You seem to know what you are doing, so you might already know this.

I may be a little biased, but I run a photo lab. I have a website that people can upload digital files to for the purpose of making prints. I can also develop film. And scanning the film isn't that expensive in and of itself, but by the time you buy the film and pay to develop and scan it, you have spent quite a bit....especially if you are doing multiple rolls.

Take all that money you would spend on film and get a digital SLR (if you don't have one already) that will do these special shots for you. I bought a Canon Digital Rebel about 2 months ago and LOVE it. I can't tell you how much money I have saved on film and processing, and it costs me less since I do it myself.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
