    2 x 35mm Black and White film questions?

    Composition

    I have taken this shot so the eye leads up to the ruins like an upside down 'V' shape. I am now thinking that perhaps I should have used the rule of two thirds to compose this image. Hindsight is a wonderful thing :confused: Any thoughts? The photo was taken with a Nikon F2as with a 28mm...

    Nikon F2as - Top LED light question

    Is anyone familiar with the Nikon F2as? I have read that the top LED light (1) should only come on when the correct exposure is achieved. However the LED on this camera lights up whenever the switch (2) is pulled back? Any suggestions.

    D40x - faint multiple spots on bright backgrounds?

    Hi, This is my first time I will be using a variety of filters with one of them mounts that slips the filters in and I have a question (this may seem obvious but I still want to check). Do you meter before you slide in a filter and then add it or do you meter with the filter already in place...

    Advice needed please - Why is centre of these photos blurred?

    Hi, I am using a Nikon F2 with a Nikkor 28mm f2.8 lens. Does anyone know why the centre ONLY is soft focused? Surely as I am focusing in the centre of the viewfinder it should only be the other way around?
