Learning how to use film is fun!

[SketchMaster]

Trying to get the hang of my Dad's old Pentax, so far I have no idea what I'm doing but some times I get lucky.

The rest are under/over exposed, I really should right down the settings I used so I can tell what I did wrong but I was too lazy. But after getting four rolls of crap developed I think I may start doing that.

Or save up and get a Rebel XTi.

Althought I did have a blast in my film photography college class, and got some cool pics, I feel digital is just so much more effecient and the quality is now right up there with film.

Don't let me get you down though, have fun!

Sketchmaster - I think you're talking about the differences in SLR and "point and shoot" cameras. Digital SLR's allow you to do exactly what you're doing now with that film SLR, however without having to develop and process the film everytime.

Anyway, good job on giving this a try

Do you understand the relation between shutter speed and aperature settings? That's probably the biggest concept you should learn and can help you a lot in all the pictures you take.

:thumbsup:

Plus it's a lot cheaper playing around with digital then to deal with processing costs.

The most fun I ever had in photography was taking pics with my Yashica FX-103 and developing the pics in the darkroom in university! The enlargers they had in there were this gigantic peices of dinosaur crap but it was still super cool

That sound like something very useful to know.
