rex 8 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Bloody barb wire was in the way on this one.... any pointers for future?.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Rex, not being funny mate, but with paying for developing etc, wouldnt be better and, ultimately cheaper, to buy a digital SLR?? They are pretty cheap off eBay mate...... p.s for the barbed wire...lower the f value, decrease DOF and stand as close as you can to the obstruction. If this helps...Happy snapping....

rex 8 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 JD your right I would love a dslr but in currently I am not in a position to buy one, I am saving and will hopefully by the end of the year be the proud owner of one, so far the minoltas and 3 lenses i have to play with have cost me £60 quid, I have begged stolen and borrowed over 40 rolls of films and they are costing £2 each to be developed, I hav been advised that a film camera is the best way to learn. But ultimately I 100% agree with you and I aspire to take some dslr snaps that are nearly half as good of the ones you post on here and are printed in your literature. Thanks for your advice about the barbed wire also, watch this space haha atb Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Good luck with getting a digital....... But yes, your'e correct, film was a good learner as they are so hard to set up to consistantly get good pics. I would say that i threw away at least % of all my film piccys. Keep us all informed...

rex 8 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks JD I hav thrown around 90% of mine away so far haha! I will keep plugging away and learning until I'm happy then hopefully treat myself to a digital get yourself prepared for some questions on recommendations haha, thanks again Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Fire away Rex, there is plenty of good advice to be found on this section mate.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hannah4181 260 Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Stick with what your doing Rex, a photographer who learnt on film . . . will IMO be a far better photographer than one who learnt on digital. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
