If this is your first time shooting, no scratch that, even if it wasn't your first time, those are good shots. Well composed, properly exposed, appropriate apertured. You will have success in photography.

Thanks...
i Just picked up this camera, and it only has a macro lense. so thats why most of the shots are so close up

[daniel]

nice shots, what lens?

[Danny]

That plane one was pretty cool.

And get your brother off that Jonas brother's hype before he ends up like Morgan.

That plane one was pretty cool.

I really like that one, too. Got it any larger?

All i can read on the lense is
Vivitar:
50mm 1:1.7 MC

cool. the 1:1.7 describes the aperture, so the maximum aperture (allowing the most amount of light and shallowest depth of field) is f/1.7.

basically you have a really good prime portrait lens. if you "stop down" to f/2.2 you can expect even sharper photos.

i wish i had the cash for another lense.
is f/2.2 a macro?
cuz its hard for me. i have to really try to stay stedy because i lose the lighting.and lose a picture on the film

i'm not talking about another lens, you just change the aperture on the lens you have. there is probably an aperture ring on the lens itself. if you change the aperture to be smaller (the f value becomes larger, like 2.2), you are increasing the depth of field (aka the area that is in focus, measured in front of and behind the actual focus point), so photos can appear sharper because more is in focus.

what ISO is the film you bought? the lower the number, the less sensitive it is to light. if you are having trouble with dark photos, you might try a higher ISO film.

ok ok... i just asked and i see what you mean.
the aperture measures like 22 16 11 8 5.6 ect.
And i just figured how to use the control ISO...i believe the ISO i used for these photos was 200.( i could be wrong)

on a film camera, the ISO is fixed depending on the film. so depending on what film you buy, you should set your camera to that ISO setting, otherwise the light metering will not be correct, and your photos will come out too dark or too bright.

if you put the camera on full auto (if it has that mode), you probably have to have the lens on f22 for this to work, as the camera body will adjust the aperture automatically. but, you should be able to control the aperture manually and have it select the correct shutter speed. this is where a digital camera is nice- you can experiment with settings and just delete the photo if you mess up.
