Are you setting the ISO and using the lighten/darken aperture control?

 

[Pumpedupkicks]

I sat it to 75 iso and I sat the lighten and darkness knob at neutral

You may have to set it to Lighten if it's not bright sun, or darken if it's too bright. It will probably take a couple of packs to get to know the quirks of the camera and how much light it likes. The hit rate will get higher the more you shoot, but just be prepared for some stinkers in those first few packs.

This was the first shot I took when I revived my father's Land Camera that had been sitting on a shelf for decades:

Day 129 - Lamps by limrodrigues, on Flickr

It was super exciting because it was my first shot and it worked, but I have to admit, it's kind of a stinker

The good news is that those misses that you get are really good for practicing emulsion lifts!

Hey that's not too bad! Definitely could have used more light, but you've got some interesting detail in the sky and the trees look nice in silhouette. I think it kinda works to capture a gloomy day.

Definitely keep that somewhere so you can take it out once in a while and remember the start of the journey

Just followed you back on Flickr.
