A friend of mine, Jim, gave me this camera about a month ago. Jim taught photography at Thomas Worthington and was my cooperating teacher when I student taught in his photo classes. He's a very cool guy with many colorful expressions. If you like my teaching style, thank Jim. He helped me a lot.
With school starting, I finally found enough time to go out and give it a whirl. I wasn't sure if this camera was working, it fired and the light meter worked, but with an older camera that's been sitting for awhile, you just never know. I found a couple cool spots and shot.
This camera is a little different than most of the cameras I'm used to; the aperture settings are at the front of the lens instead of the base. Once I got the hang of that, I found that I really liked using this camera a lot! The pics I got back, I feel, were really good. I shot ISO 200 film, because it's still pretty bright out. Check out some of my pics below. Notice the fine grain and the color. I shot color, had it processed and had the negatives scanned to a CD. For me, I like this style of photography. I still get the old school film feeling but it's pretty much still digital.
