Renee,
I'm sure your Minolta has everything necessary to take wonderful pictures. My advice would be to find the program mode, put it on the portrait setting and go shoot pictures. I will try and give the outdoor setting some thought for a future post.
Mari,
It is a north facing window. However, I have taken pictures at windows facing in all directions. I don't want anyone to think that you must face north. If you have a north light that's fine but I think it's more about becoming familiar with whatever light you have available. The window light used for the baby photo's was an east facing light almost noon. And I'm not familiar with this guy Kelvin, is he a member? Just kidding of course, but I really don't know anything about temperatures or stuff like that. I have read Chris's posts regarding film type. I would concede to her on this matter. I use mostly Kodak film and I use the basic stuff from the Walgreens. I have on occasion used some professional film but frankly I don't see much difference. When I'm taking pictures as described in this post I use 400 speed ordinary Kodak film.
Marvin,
Thank you for your kind words. I have read your posts regarding photography and have learned from them. Not to mention your wonderful paintings. Thanks again, Mike
