Photographing irises

I recently received an advertisement with two rolls of film, one each ASA
200 and 400, from the Seattle Film Works, P.O. Box 34056, Seattle
98124-1056.  This is one of those mail order photo services which charges
about the same as the corner drug store for processing but gives you a new
roll of film free.  What interested me about their service was that for
something like $3.95 a roll they will put your photos on a compact disk so
that you can view them on your computer.  The next logical step, of course,
if you have a color printer, is to print them on letter-size paper.  For
those who keep photo albums of their iris blossoms, this would be less work
than mounting photo prints and cheaper than making photo enlargements.
Disadvantage, of course...where you normally get four or six prints on a
page, this way you would get only one.  Offset, however, is that the pages
would be thinner and would not require plastic jackets.

I have not used this service, as we are new growers and haven't had a bloom
yet, and I don't have a color printer -- although I suspect that I will be
forced to buy one.  I would guess that this service, putting your film onto
a disk, is available from many other retailers.
