I'm STILL trying to figure it out!

Spider,

I'll take cold and wet any time.

It's snowing so hard here today, everyone cancelled for the supper.

There's food for 20 sitting out in our unheated garage.

Needless to say I am staying well away from Mrs. Mac!

So is the cat.

And if He's smart, so is God.

Gawd!!! what a day.

Oh wait, is that Mr. Bowmore calling??

Why, I do believe it is.....

Here's to your very good health everyone!

I would like to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year. May it be the best ever.

Time again to recognize the hard working folk who manage this wonderful forum. I for one, really appreciate their tireless dedication.

THANK YOU !

I have learned so much from all our contributors, and am always amazed at the depth of knowledge and experience they bring here to share.

Again:

THANK YOU !

Now it's time to load up the film arsenal in preparation for the HUGE New Year's Day family supper that we're hosting.

I like to have lots of pictures of these events - helps later to sort out the court cases....

Cheers

Donna,

I also have a P30 and there is a flash setting on the speed wheel of 100. It's past the B setting with a flash symbol.

Depending on the type of flash you use, you may want to set the camera to 100.

If you have a flash with TTL .... easier if you tell us what flash you're using.

Let us know how the roll turns out.

(I used to love 12 exposure rolls for this).

Cheers

Donna,

Hi and Welcome.

Can you open the camera back (no film obvioulsy) and fire the shutter at say, 1/15th of a second?

I fear that the shutter curtain isn't always opening completely, or that your mirror isn't always flipping all the way up and out of the way.

When you say that it seems ok now, have you seen results from another roll?

Do you know if the camera has ever been serviced?

Maybe it just needed some exercise after sitting unused for many years - hope so...

Stay with us - we'll try to sort this out.

Cheers

Way to go, Joshua!

Nice showing for Canada

Well deserved.

Enjoy your lens!

Geeeze,

I just got it, Mongoose!

Man, that was funny!

Much, MUCH better!

Very nice!

Usually can't get a sky like that w/o polarizers.

Excellent!

Anyone else had this thought?

I've been seeing an ad on television for some hand-held electronic gizmo that is supposed to exercise your brain and stave off dementia etc.

Cameras, instruction manuals, light meters, and flash units are hand-held gizmos that require far more mental gymnastics than that piece of junk they're trying to sell me.

Plus I wind up with pictures. Gee, something actually creative.......

Next time somebody asks me why I need all this gear instead of just using the digital camera in my phone, I'll simply say I'm slowing the on-set of senility, and recording the trip.

Meanwhile, do a crossword puzzle, read a book, write a letter, have an intelligent conversation - (without text messaging - IMHO!)

Geeezzeeee......

Now, where'd I put that three-legged thing, you know, the whatchamacallit, the ....

George!
