Ohh right yeah I know it. I used to work in The Hest Bank Hotel so I'd walk down there a lot.

You're welcome. I really love the depth of field and the tones. It makes me want to put on a coat and go shoot.

That's why I love '60s cameras

The mamiya is a great one. I've only tried it once but I would love to own one some day.

I found mine in a charity shop for £5!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What?! That's insane. I'm incredibly jealous of that find.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just haunt charity shops!
If you get them over there...
Internet shopping is terrible for old cameras, they're always over-priced.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah we have lots of second hand shops. I'm always keeping an eye out.

So what cameras do you have?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I primarily use a Canon 40D but I love film. I have a Holga 120 CFN, a lomography fisheye, and a Pentax ME Super. I also have some old cameras of my grandpa's but they don't work well. A Kodak pocket instamatic 20 and a Brownie Junior. And at school I can rent out Mamiya's, Hasselblad's and 4x5's. Though I'm not using film as much as I would like as it gets pretty expensive. What about you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow
I'm slightly poverty stricken, so I only have a lomo diana, a lomo fisheye 1, a canon sure shot supreme and a mamiya/sekor 1000TL.
I just spent £110 on developing stuff, so now it'll be cheaper for me.

Mmm I love Dianas. I want one. Haha yeah I've collected a few over the past year. I haven't been shooting for very long. How much is a pound in Canadian dollars? Wow according to google almost 2 dollars. So that's a lot on development! I've been working on developing my film at school the old school way with a coil inside the canister. But sometimes a small piece of film in a beautiful picture is missed by the developer and it's really disappointing.

Yeahh. I left school years ago so I cant do that. Gotta look after myself now.

You could always set up your own dark room. I've started working towards that. I've got an enlarger now I just need the chemicals and a space.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have chemicals and a kit to develop film, all I need is a film scanner, which should come tomorrow, and bottles to store the chemicals.
Gonna turn our upstairs bathroom into a dark room
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome! Yeah I want to turn my closet into a dark room. I think it's big enough but enlargers are pretty tall.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh. I don't know anything about printing, so for now I'm going to stick with a negative scanner.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not hard at all. You just put the negative into the enlarger slide and figure out the exposure times....okay that part can be a pain in the ass. But it's such fun when you have a nice print on paper after.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeahh. Maybe one day. But they're well expensive.

I won mine in a draw at school. I got really lucky. Did you go to photography school?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow 
And no, I went to an art college and did loads of modelling, but I studied music.
I was always interested in photography though and my mum used to teach me a lot.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm thinking about going to art school after this. That's really nice though with your mom.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, she used to be well into it when she was a kid.
What do you do now then? And how old are you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's so cool. I just started, well I'm a semester in, photography school and I'm 18.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok that means nothing to me...
Apart from the "18" part (:
I don't get the education system over there.
What do you want to do when you're older?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh haha it's all good. A semester is half of the year. So I'm in a two year program and am half done my first year. I want to keep doing photography and I've been getting more jobs. So hopefully I'll have a moderately successful business with that. But I want to go to art school and teach. You?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh I see!
Well I'm qualified and experienced enough to be a sound engineer, but hopefully I'll be in the army soon. I'm up to phase 2 of my application.

Wow that's impressive. My boyfriend wants to record music for bands. That's a big decision to make. I wish you the best of luck.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh I used to do that a few years back.
I served 2 counties (:
It's good fun, but gets really stressful.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha yeah you should warn him.
If I was going to go on holiday in Canada, where should I go?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Will do. But he loves music too much to worry about things like that. BC! Definitely Vancouver or on the other end Halifax.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I was like that, until I was missing out on sleep and losing all my friends.
What's in Vancouver then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eh, everyone deals differently. I've honestly never been but I want to live there. Water and sunshine and beauty. Look it up?
