Here is an example of using the electronic shutter incorrectly - one of the few problems with using it especially under some artificial lighting, it will create banding, as you can see here. Switching to mechanical, you may miss more shots but won't have this effect. I used the Fuji X-T2 w/ my 18-55mm (using a faster lens may eliminate this problem with the ES though) I think this is the "rolling shutter" issue. Most of the time though I prefer to use the ES - especially in a wedding or concert venue where silence is golden ;)

I personally don't like "framed" photos myself but Amazon is king when it comes to framing if you know exactly what you want (look at reviews though).
I bought some "clip glass" frames from Hobby Lobby and Michaels and they were junk - the clips wore away in the back if you even adjusted them once rendering the frames useless. I found the following on Amazon and they are amazing and an amazing price! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072R1BW1Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They look great too :)

I tend to spend a little more on the printing of my photos and get them done at my local camera store Dury's which are on archival paper and don't seem to stick to the glass - if I was printing my own, I prob would have to use a mat.

You quoted my husband - LOL

Yes, although in the valley, the "farm" houses tend to be kept up but the other rural houses tend to suffer due to loss of jobs. I think the churches are kept up because of the collective love and volunteerism of the parishioners.

Thank you so much!
