Old time Photo plans!!

[Celtic 77]

Maybe it's the urge to slow down, though at 77 I may be slowing a bit, but I ordered an adapter for my ON1n Olympus SLR and am going to grab some Ilford B&W with my 50mm lens and yellow filter and SLOOOOOOW down. No, as DrEnropy said, "spray and pray" that the digital shooters are apt to do. Making every shot count requires some basic photographic know how and patience. Use the camera as a tool to put what the brain perceives as an image.

OOPS! Got distracted! As I was saying, put the brain inputs onto film. Here's a rhetorical question. Aside from pages of seemingly useless camera programming in any brands handbooks, does anyone actually see some basic photography principal's?

Would you be interested in a Nikon TLS, SLR with a bunch of lenses?
They are from my late brothers collection of photo equipment.
Yours for the cost of postage.
There is also a couple of point and shoot compact cameras.
One of them is an early digital.
He also had an Argos camera he inherited from our dad.
That one had to be from the 1950's.

Enjoy your journey. I must say I have abandoned film all together. Using the same lenses for film, then digital, then digital looks so much sharper and detailed. I still shoot at the pace I used with film. If needed, I could have burned a roll of 36 in under 4 seconds, just not my style.
