Response to Beginner -8th grade photo questions

A lot depends on what you are going to photograph. Buildings into buildings will probably require more depth of field and thus smaller apertures, so hand holding will need a faster film speed, say 400 iso. refelecting the ske in water, like at the reflecting pool in DC, will not require large amounts of depth of field as you will likely be focussed on infinity anyway so if you can, use 100 iso to achieve finer grain. All that said you should be using a tripod for these shots anyway so use the slowest film you can...Frank
