Well thinking tonight I have decided to buy a Nikon FM camera. Along with 5 x 36 rolls of film.
Some people may ask why, my reasoning is that I love the feel and look of film. I also like the fact that I have to think about everything and nothing can really be fixed in post. I hope this makes me a better photographer and that it helps me think more about what I am photographing rather than just snapping and moving on. I am sure it will make me slow down and think.
I am looking forward to sharing my journey here and see if digital has made me a better photographer or made me lazy
The Nikon FM is Manual everything, doesn't really need batteries unless I want to use the light meter. I am thinking I will need to use the light meter or to buy one.
