Now, this is true. I guess I just wimped out. I was ill at the time, so
that and the heat just did me in.

Good advice. But, I did have an idea for next time. I can load the Kodak
HIE at home before leaving......then, if I choose to shoot anymore I can
use Konica which can be loaded in subdued light. This is the cowards way
out I'm sure. This will work until I can "practice, practice, practice."

Also, since we were talking about snow some time back. Would it stand to
reason that I would use a lower ASA than when I shoot in the summer? You
probably covered this already, if so, please excuse my not remembering
what was said. 

Thanks for all of the encouragement......I'll keep trying.
