Hi everyone!
I'm a student from Singapore, and I only got into the whole business of film a few months back. My dad wishes that all film would run out though, since he thinks anyone who's shooting with film is going the wrong way.
I was lucky enough to get my 350D in 2006, and it helped me hone the basics of exposure, composition and the like. After sadly leaving it in a classroom (together with some lenses from the school's photo club) and forgetting to retrieve it, I was stuck with no camera for a good part of this year.
The seniors at my photo club were all shooting film, and that was what got me interested. It was unbelievable that while discussing film with my buddies at a shopping center, an old man offered to give me his film camera.
Turned out to be a Nikon FE in near-mint condition, and I've never looked back to digital since. I've tried a few rolls of 120 with my granddad's Shanghai TLR, but the FE is what I shoot with now.
I'm still experimenting with the different films. It's great to find a place where everyone loves their film, and I hope to learn much from this wonderful community.
Would definitely love to know other Singaporean or Asian members here on APUG too!
