Ross & To All,
A photography clinic at a COA would be welcome.  In Kentucky there was a
photo clinic but it wasn't in depth like Ross said in his informative email.
The talk showed pictures of shells on a screen with a projector from digital
images, they were clear and of acceptable quality.  The hidden costs I refer
to is from a buying guide I bought.  In my opinion film photography is the
way to photograph shells.  Film is more versatile.
