Rob, those were the days right, take photos, send film in and wait for the results and then if you can afford it, convert to slide. I took so many photos that did not turn out like I had envisioned, you actually got one of this marsupial, the little guy my daughter thought was so cute and the photos never turned out like I had hoped. Long story I know, but photos do bring back memories. thanks Bob
Glad to bring back some memories, Bob! Yes, you tended to think a lot more carefully before pressing the shutter release when it was film. Luckily when I took this photo I had help. One friend was holding a small piece of crust dipped in honey, and another was holding a torch at an angle away from me to I could focus and so the possum didn't look directly at the flash to generate eyeshine. I had a fantastic photo which I use for my avatar on this site of a Ringtail Possum, but sadly the slide has disappeared. Possibly one of the best photos I ever took on film, and it's gone. Nice memories though!
