Woohoo, Glam!
I had to go over to the Other Hospital Where We Work today, the one that's conveniently on the college campus that pays my salary and, incidentally, gives me library borrowing privileges. So I spent the end of the afternoon breathing the sweet scent of old books, three of which I checked out...at which point I discovered the undergraduate library has a checkout period of four weeks, not three months like the main arts & sciences library. Oops. Hope I can renew them, because there's no way I can read three Serious Research Tomes in a month along with all the books the Seattle library keeps throwing at me from my holds list. On the other hand, it means that soon I'll need to go
back
to the library and it's wonderful aroma and beautiful books.
Thanks, Jess! I can't seem to find a b&w setting for mine (although it has, like, Night, Portrait, Candle, and all kinds of other stuff), but I did read something that suggested exactly what you said about digital vs. b&w film.
I couldn't figure out how to do it in Flickr, though. The Piknik editor confused me there.
I don't know much about photgraphy. There was just a long thread in BuffistaTech where people tried to explain to me what an f-stop was. I'm just going to nod and say, “What Jessica said.”
Yay, GC! You will be a beautiful bride!
But ... you take awesome pictures!
(I have no idea what an f-stop is. I had a good 35 mm that I never figured out to use except for on auto.)
But ... you take awesome pictures!
I just go Ooooh, pretty! and point the camera at it. I have no idea what I'm doing.

Yeah, but you've got a much better instinctive eye for composition than I do. Whatever you do or don't know about the mechanics behind it, you take really good pictures.
Amy, if you don't have any photo editing software on your desktop, I've heard good things about Photoshop Express.
