One evening, many years ago, I was fishing Lake Okeechobee with friends with the typical afternoon thunderstorms popping up. That's usually a recipe for beautiful rainbows and that evening was no exception.
Of to the East came one of the brightest rainbows I had ever seen. It soon dimmed a bit and a second complete rainbow appeared around it. Soon, a partial third rainbow was added.
I got my 35mm camera out of the trailer and took several pictures of the rainbows and thought that I had struck gold. When the film was developed, it was as if the rainbows had never existed. I'd been doing some indoor photography and had 1000 speed film in the camera instead of the normal 100. 1000 speed is wonderful in low light, but it doesn't translate color very well, and the rainbows had been bleached into the background.

Dad was a professional photographer and he taught me a lot of tricks. I spent a lot of hours in the dark room. Still have some of his equipment, which is in storage and probably belongs in a museum.
I ended up being the chief Photographer, Photo Editor and student instructor for 4 yearbooks. Ended up doing a lot of photo & video work for the cop shop. When Dad finally started making the move to digital then I got to start teaching him a few things. Did a lot of computer work with him on photos over the last years and helped him digitize a bunch of pictures from negatives and slides we took over many years on the ApHC Chief Joseph Trail Ride.
Lots of little tricks and things to know and learn between film and digital photography. It’s refreshing to just sit back and take a snapshot knowing it’s strictly fun & a paycheck or court case isn’t relying on it. Just having fun is the reward!

I agree. I really enjoy taking pictures, but it's not my livelihood nor will it be. My first "good" camera was a Canon AE-1 program. Throw in the telephoto lens and is was about $1,000 in 1980 money. Today I've got an EOS 70. Also $1,000, but in 2015 dollars, and it takes a much better picture. (Canon makes a LOT of different cameras!)
