More from my beach adventure.

Here is more from my Aberdeen beach adventure that I had with my Nikon FG-20.
There is just something about film that is very attractive to me.
Although its a wee bit on the expensive side !
If I can get a handful of decent shots out of a roll of film, I feel like its worth it.
I think because of the limitations of analogue it actually pushes me to apply myself more to what photography is all about.
When I use the DSLR, the amount of shots range from 100 to 200, then its whittled down and whittled down again, simply because we have that luxury.
Tech is fantastic, sometimes I feel like its actually encouraging a shallowness within modern day society.
These were taken on my first day out with the Nikon FG-20, I am unable to do do much more that straighten and adjust brightness etc with the editing soft ware that I have.

I obviously still have lots to learn about all of this, but for now I will concentrate on the 30 odd photographs that I have.
All of these photographs were taken with a 50mm prime, and I think I should have been closer to the subjects.
As soon as I crop in and try to edit, the grain is very high.
I do have a zoom lens a push/pull 48/86 mm, which I have read is the worst lens that was ever sold by Nikon !
Still I will keep trying and hope to get some good work don this summer.

The last one is fine, the other two seem very ill-defined for some reason. Are they crops?

Ansel Adams reckoned that you'd pulled it off if you get 12 decent photographs a year, but that you learn from the vastly greater number of failures.
 
Yes they are crops, very bright sunny day with harsh light and my first time shooting film.
I feel like I have learned quite a bit since then, that was a few months ago when I was out with that camera.
Using the camera in fully manual mode which is a bit of a curve compared to a DSLR.
I am considering going into town early doors tomorrow.
There is a stock of film I need to use up before its out of date.
