As part of my Com Tech. brief ive decided to learn how to use a twin lens camera. I recently bought a peyona chinese camera that is based on a rolleiflex. Its absolutely beautiful but is difficult to use as everything is manual. The hardest part of taking a good photograph is interpreting the light levels and setting the aperture and shutter speed accordingly.
I got my first film developed recently and was realllllly realllllly impressed with one or two of the photos that came out in focus but unfortunately about 80% of the roll was crap.
I want to be able to use the tlr with confidence so i'm going to have to spend a fair bit of money on film and developing. To keep it to a minimum i have started writing down every manual setting i set for each photograph. That way once developed i can see how each shot was set up and where it might have gone wrong.
