I got an old 120 film camera for Christmas. I wanted to test it, but the film cost, processing, scanning, and postage two ways meant each of the twelve photos cost about $4. I didn’t want to use them up taking cat photos, but I figured one wouldn’t hurt.

That’s a great photo – aren’t you glad you took it with that new/old camera?!
Hugs, Pam
Yes, I am. It is different than most.
it is a super photo… bravo!
Thank you.
What a wonderful photo. Those old cameras are great, but as you say, processing can get pretty pricey.
It is good for making me think before shooting.
An excellent photo.
Thanks.
Well done! Frankie looks great in b&w! Have fun with your film camera.
The benefit of using the old technology is you get to (“have to”…) anticipate results or literally pay the price. You learn skills like framing the shot, what different cameras, lenses, and films are capable of, in short, the art of photography.
While I like digital photography and how easy it is to edit and adjust different aspects of a shot, it is a lazy business compared with the old way and there is little “cost” for sloppiness other than using up space on your laptop or smart phone’s memories. Even that is simple to take care of, unlike dealing with boxes of negatives, slides, or prints.
I once heard a great way to learn photography is to go out and take only one photograph. It forces you to get the best photo you can. This is similar because you only get twelve shots and each is costly.
That’s an excellent training tool, too! When I first bought Nikon equipment, I only had one 135mm telephoto lens. I learned a lot about that lens and how to use it before I could afford further lenses.
I just had cheap cameras until my dad gave me his Canon F1. That had three lenses but none were zoom so I either had to bring everything or choose a lens before going out.
Frankie is so photogenic…this is another great picture!
He really is.
It’s a beauty!
Thanks.
That is a really cool photo!
Thank you.
Great shot. I wouldn’t consider cats a waste of film. I can’t think of anything I would rather have a photo of.
Cars move too much so it takes twelve shots to get a good one.
Love Frankie in black and white.
Thanks.
Beautiful picture. Better not let the cats know they’re not getting the expensive film. 🙂

Excellent picture, Frankie💗Double Pawkisses for a Happy Sunday🐾😸💞
