First roll

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah earlier this week I finished the first roll of film with the Minolta x700 SLR. Some of the pics were pretty good, some weren’t. I obviously got better at getting things in sharper focus as time went by, but I still need to practice and I need to be more aware of lighting and shadows. This camera is much more sensitive to light, I really need to slow down and frame the shot the best way for the light of the day, and get it in sharper focus. I’ve read where going too fast is a common mistake for newbie manual focus camera users, but being patient has never been a strong point of mine!

I’ll be getting some more practice with it tomorrow, as Angela and I are planning a trip to The Wilds.

    The site’s been unreachable all morning. I heard through the grapevine that it’s because the servers are all being moved over to the as yet un-named merge partner’s company. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that this will be worth the wait, in terms of improved reliability and service. We shall see. Hopefully I’ll be…

    Angela and I capped off her birthday weekend with a trip to the movies today. Queen of the Damned was the choice for today, and let me tell you, it was not a good one. First off, let me say this, Aaliyah as Akasha and Stuart Townsend as Lestat were very good. Much better than…

    Last night, after spending the day touring the sights of Louisville, Angela and I spent some time looking for a good place to have dinner. We stumbled onto Melillo’s, a small, family-owned Italian place just East of downtown. What a great little place. The atmosphere is perfect to spend some time hanging out, drinking a…
