Steven came home from OU Sunday for a few hours. Much to my delight, he came home not only to say hello, but to get his camera. You see, last year Steven really got into shooting film. He was shooting with my Canon ElanII, but wanted a more hands-on, tactile experience. So, last Christmas, the World of Used Photography was having a 75% off sale. We went not really expecting much. We walked to what is probably my favorite place on earth (at least in Ohio). Walls of cameras of all makes and models, from all eras, film and digital. As we searched through the cameras, Steven spotted a Nikkormat EL that was in mint condition. I had to get it - it was 75% off!
Well, as things go, Steven got busy; it was his senior year and he had a lot to do to get ready for college. So now, some 9 months later, he still hadn't shot with his Nikkormat. When he announced that a friend and he were going shooting at OU and he wanted to get some practice, I said "Let's go!".
Being crunched on time, Steven and I shot color film and had our negatives scanned to CDs rather than having them printed. Below are the shots we took a I tweaked a couple in Photoshop.
