iris photography [was Iris chrysographes]

---

There were 35mm point-and-shoot cameras and there are digital SLRs. In theory, the significant difference between SLR photography with digital rather than film is that you can change the "film speed" from picture to picture if you want; you don't loose any control by going to digital. However, in practice, digital SLRs of filled with a variety of bells and whistles that must either be navigated or ignored.

If you want to concentrate on photography, you need a camera you are comfortable with. It sounds like you have one.

At my age Jim, I have neither the energy nor the desire to learn a whole new system of photography. I'm in that very comfortable rut. Those with their digital cameras just point, click and move on to the next. IMHO I feel that I am composing a picture,  making certain that the background is out of focus so that the viewer can put their full attention on the flower and at the same time fixing in my mind a memory of the place and time.
