When we were home in July, I found and 'borrowed' my dad's old camera. It is an SLR Pentax film camera with 2 gorgeous lenses (a telephoto portrait and ultra-wide-angle). I experimented with 4 rolls of film while we were home and was surprised with several great shots.
These are especially good considering I didn't know what any of the levers and knobs did, randomly selected F-stops, and refused to buy a battery for the light-meter. There were many, many under-developed photos in the mix. Have no fear, I have since bought a photography book....
Since we've been home, I've been researching and debating what to do with my new set-up. I sent the film camera body to the shop. But I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue with a film camera so I splurged and bought a new DSLR digital camera this week. My dad's old lenses will work with it with an adapter, and I'm having a great time experimenting and taking fun pictures!
A small sample:
The cactus blooms in our front yard. This is a new favorite of mine .... I love the colors and the interesting detail.
Aaron's new favorite: same flowers but with a friend.
On portrait mode: my favorite model!!
