YES! I remember that! I was doing photo journalism in high school and we
would develop our own film. Still, the cameras were NOT automatic focus
or anything, so you had to set the F-Stop, the speed, etc. and then take
time to develop, then do the prints (that's where I REALLY learned what
it meant to 'crop' something!), so yeah, you want the compisition to
be up there! :-D
