Calling all Photographers!

Just got myself a Minolta XD7 35mm SLR camera and just wanted a few pointers about using it really.

Is it the same principles as the Digital guides people have written on here?

 

[McBunny]

yup except it will cost you a s**t load to make mistakes

 

[TeZ]

Not if your a Natural

 

[McBunny]

true but he is asking questions so he aint lol

tbh with the cost of film and developing you would be better with a nikon d40

I would imagine the same thing applys.

However White Balance, Exposure etc etc dont just come Naturally at first

Tis ok i like learning... and i might be a natural!

Someone has lent me there Minolta and was gonna have a play over the weekend.... apparently made in1979 they cost £200 which was a heck of lot then!

 

[TeZ]

I have a Olypus from that era but saying that still takes great pictures.

working with film and getting it right will make you a much better photographer than anyone who goes out and buys a dslr camera!

if you really wanna learn get hold of a medium format single lens one like a mamiya or bronica or hassleblad the results will piss on any digital image.
