Greetings from the newest member. I recently became addicted to cameras without knowing the first thing about them.
I bought a few off of Ebay and they all had problems, but I've gotten a couple of them to work.
I went to the park today to take pictures and I used the only digital I have, a finepixs s700 and an old Asahi Pentax Spotmatic. I like the instant results from the digital and the fun experimenting with the features. The pentax took a little work to clean up and replace the light seals and I should know in a couple of days how the photos turned out. I had a great time and got very close to an Egret and a really irritable goose. I had a couple of digitals that turned out OKay, but after viewing them, I wished I knew how to correctly compose the photograph where the birds would be in the best location and the picture framed?? correctly??
I was a kid in the 50s and really liked the old TLR cameras but I didn't realize they were as limited as they are. That didn't stop me from buying a beautiful weltaflex TLR that uses the 120 film. I will take that out next week.
My son and I bought a photo enlarger the day after we bought some 2 gig memory cards for our digital cameras.
I need to learn everything and I'm loving every minute of it!!! I'm glad I found this sight with so many knowledgeable photographers.
At any rate, who cares what someone else thinks about the "flavor" of photography you prefer. I'm glad you're here and willing to share your photos and knowledge.
