Thanks Tritone. I learned how to take photographs with a Pentax K1000. All manual except for a light meter/needle. I have some background in that area. I guess I'm like the guy loopnode mentioned- If I can't smell the film when opening the canister it doesn't seem serious. Painters had the same reaction to the first photographers I am sure.

Queue cotton-picking references now.



I learned on the SAME camera, B! I still have it. As far as digital vs film, I don't think it makes much difference if you are taking artistic snapshots or vacation phots. I like the warm quality 35mm brings when I look at fashion, but digital saves you so much money otherwise since you can review your work right there and do-over when needed. Just learning the basics of lighting is more important than the camera.
