Hi Guys,
I first got into shooting film photography about a year ago, a friend sold me a Lomo LC-A+, I had great fun with it for about 4 months, but quickly yearned for "more".
I purchased an Asahi Pentax k1000 body and a Pentax SMC M 50mm f1.7 lens, and have been trying to learn ever since (with varying degrees of success).
My opinions/ thoughts (at present) are sadly driven by ignornace (due to a lack of knowledge/ experience). I have never extensively shot with digital photography as it never appealed to me. I was drawn in by the grain of Film photos, and their general "warmth", I never got excited by a digital photo (probably due to a lack of exposure to decent photography), but when I saw a friends photos taken with old SLR (not sure which), it was the first time I really became enthusiastic about photography and has created a "monster" which I'm sure will run catastrophically out of control and my knowledge base grows.
Anyway enough of my inane ramblings, I look forward to participating in this forum, and tapping into the compendium of knowledge contained here.
Steve
