September 9th 2009

Photo Description 

I took this picture last summer with my Minolta X700 and a Vivitar 28 - 210 mm zoom. I didn't have my new DSLR yet and I couldn't find the point and shoot. My wife had the brainy idea of using a camera that actually took film. So I loaded up some Kodak 400 ( I wouldn't use anything else) and shot the whole roll on pictures of bees and flowers. I was pretty pleased when I got this one back. The kids had just stopped jumping on the trampoline because of all the bees flying around. That's what gave me the idea to take pictures. I had to scan this in, I have a lot more to go.

Tips and Tricks 

  • Ideas can come from anywhere
  • be prepared, know where your equipment is and that it is in working order
  • Going back through last years shots can be a lot of fun but it can inspire you too
