I agree completely.. I wanted to do everything you said but I just couldn't get the focus right and I couldn't hold the camera still longer than 1/15. I'll try again next time I'm over there

Repetitive patterns are always a goldmine. The dark shadows lack definition, I think.

This is he kind of shot that a DSLR almost invariably messes up because the exposure is fooled. Not so for the Olympus 35 rc!

Must have been pretty poor light. I notice that I'm not a blurry guy, and like the red tiles bet but not enough to carry the whole picture.

So far I've just been dropping everything at CVS because it's the cheapest developing around. For black and white I have to go to a specialty camera shop where the prices aren't as reasonable. My grandfather has darkroom equipment though, so if I can find some chemicals hopefully I'll be able to start using that. Thanks for the great comments

I really feel like I am back in time when I view your shots - the softness doesn't ruin them - it adds to the feeling of finding an old film and exposing it and finding that green color (or sometimes reddish tones) and being so happy that the exposed film still came out. As you might have guessed from my comments. that has happened to me but my shots don't have the same feel that begins a story in my mind.

I am in agreement with pixelpig on this shot - I love to make sense out of it .. I see what looks like an older gent dressed warmly - he has a wonderful beard - maybe it's saint nick dong some recon work (smile)
