Back to the Basics

I given up digital photography.

For now.

Well not that I will not pick up the digital camera again, but i am just hooked up to a new hobby.

No, I am not giving up photography. I am just giving up DIGITAL photography.

I recently found an old Nikon FM2, and some negatives while packing my room.

It had been a gift from my father to me as he had no use for it.

In any case, I fitted the film into the camera, got a few khakis and went out for a photo shoot. This time, not armed with batteries and memory card, but with canisters of film.

The experience?

Phenomenon.

When I was taking "Painting", there were about 3 or 4 other photographers. Everyone else was using the DSLR. But as I was not part of their crew, they let waited for me to complete my shot. All the while wondering where the relic came from.

I took aim, and amidst the "beep beep beeps", I turned the dial to set my shutter.

"Kiak Kiak Kiak"
"ClickCLOCK" I hit the shutter release.

"ZzzZZZZZ Click" I wounded the film manually.

"Thank you guy! Have fun!"

I walked away, savouring the amused looks on their faces.
