yes, the first 10,00 were useless
Yes, I remember it clearly. And both of the others... LOL
Nope. But I haven't developed the last roll I shot yet. :)
I'm still waiting....
Farting around in the high school darkroom with a negative of a guy silhouetted against a window. Stumbled onto the idea of sandwiching a piece of lens cleaning tissue into the carrier with the negative. Got so excited with the result that I took the print into the classroom to show the teacher before it was properly fixed. Had to make another print that ended up featured in that year's yearbook.
Wish I had not let so many years intervene between then and becoming recaptured by photography...
Most of the shots I enjoy are........uhm...........well..............they are great mistakes from experimenting. They do not come out to my vision but are still something I like.
The sprinkler and snow in my gallery.
Surprisingly, the first good photo I took was off the first roll of slide film I shot. Canon AE-1 Program and 50/1.8 lens. Darn near froze getting to the spot.
