Gary, Do you think an hour is enough? This isn't a challenge -- I have no clue myself and I'm interested in the answer. Out of what is likely to have been an...
I have a recently-acquired Mat-124 that produces remarkably sharp pictures, given that inside surfaces of the lens are filthy, when I look closely. There's...
Could anyone offer advice for photographing horses? I was asked to photograph a horse that will be used for advertising purposes. I've not used my YashicaMat...
My SLR has me programmed. It reads the film speed, sets the aperture and shutter speed. Once I point, it will focus on the object. I don't have to think....
My second role of Velvia turned out fabulous. I was careful to focus and take meter readings of the subject. On my first roll I was following a book...
