Hey there,
So I got a film camera for Christmas this year - Olympus OM10 35mm - after a few of my friends got into using them. It's probably best to mention now that I've never used an SLR camera before in my life and I've been learning bits and bobs over the internet but I really can't claim that I know what I'm doing.
So since the 25th I've been taking shots here and there and experimenting and hoping for the best- I just picked up my first developed film and I'm a little confused haha.. Some of the pictures that I took are completely blurred and some of them are very clear. I have to say that I absolutely LOVE all of them in their own little way and I'm completely addicted to the style of photo that the camera produces- however it would be nice to know what I'm doing wrong and how I can control this.
So here are 2 examples of the blur- the first of my family is the type that I'd like to try and avoid, obviously I'd intended to be able to see the faces and the birthday cake etc. but the second of my dog is one of my favourite pictures on the film- its just that it wasn't intentional and (remembering that I'm a complete beginner) I'd like to understand why it happens and how to control it...
And then here are two that I took back in London, the fact that these are a lot clearer made me rule out that it was a fault with my camera...
So if anyone could help me at all I would much much appreciate it as I'm now in love with shooting film and want to start learning and understanding more about what I'm shooting.
(Just in case its helpful or not, I was using a Zuiko 50mm lens for the majority, and a 75-200mm for a couple with Kodak ColorPlus 200 film)...
