Hi my names is Caleb and I am a 16 year old sophomore in high school who just was just recently intrigued by film photography by the Photography 1 class in school. The first year is dedicated solely to teaching the use of film cameras. I fell in love with it. I dug around in the garage looking for my Mom's old camera she used in high school and found her 35mm Chinon CE-4. In class we use Ilford HP5+ Delta Professional. I've had a great time experimenting and the dark room, taking shots and I've exceeded past the rest of my class. My intrigue has brought me here, so that I can learn more about SLR photography and hopefully WOW my teacher and classmates. There's a few things that I've been wanting to try out, the concepts of double exposure and light painting. If anyone could assist me in sharing their knowledge with a young photo novice it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for having me.
