Watchers

HELL YES. Today I shot medium format film for the first time in my previously pointless life.

OK, I know film is practically dead. I have used a Nikon D700, and it is life changing. But something about the snap of that mechanical shutter, the feeling of rolling on that film, is just magical.

Using an old Mamiya RB67, with 400ISO black and white which is probably expired, I hope to just test it out - get a feel for it. The viewfinder is absolutely huge and one great thing is the time and care it takes to compose an image (not to mention the cost :() makes you really take care to make it something good.

Hoping to do some nice landscapes and star trails some time soon.

Otherwise, I start university in January. That equals = practically no photography.
