Exciting day today,
Having headed back to the homestead for the weekend, my Uncle rather kindly offered to help introduce me to the world of film photography.
The initial plan was to use my Dad's Pentax ME-F camera circa 1980's, however seawater appears to have gotten the best of it, and you can't load any film into it. Fortunately Uncle Denis has saved the day by lending me his Pentax camera circa 1960's! (There is an identical camera in York Castle Museum!) On the plus side it is entirely mechanical, so it will save me the fuss of finding batteries, oh and it comes with a whole bag goodies. These range from filters, to extension rings, cable release, flash and light meter. It's a bit like Christmas day came early.
Now I just need to go somewhere a little bit more picturesque than my parents back garden which is somewhat resembling an attack of the triffids!
