J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 You'll soon give up............... I learnt on film....if you could get coursing pics with a film camera then digital was going to be a piece of pi$$....IMO.... I soon sold my film gear when I saw the light .....I think the canon 300D was one of my first digi SLR's...many years ago now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omanyra 2,518 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 One of my many from the early 90`s using film, this scanned so might not come out very good 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 One of my many from the early 90`s using film, this scanned so might not come out very good Deerhounds coursing.jpg And didn't we get ever so excited about those early, grainy pics?? I know I did. I remember some of my early deer coursing pics, christ were they bad! Basically just a white blob and little else.......but it was a start I guess..... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aye JD, 400 iso was massive wasnt it? now we are shooting at crazy ISO`s I remember getting some 'special' iso800 in the shop...they were amazed! ha ha ....pics were crap mind! I tried everything back then but the pentax K1000 wasn't ever going to do much good, so I changed to canon and saw the light. I had a 100-400 cosina lens and thought I was going to turn fieldsports photography upside down with it...ha ha ...but i was only young and keen and unrealistic. I took tens of thousands of shots a year and most were destined for the bin!! All my pics were crap, but hey were still the best I'd seen....and then...digital swept along and it was bye bye film.... Do I miss film?? Absofuckinlutely not!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
