I used to photograph quite a lot, in black-and-white. I even had a darkroom for a while.
My brother let me photograph his wedding, a decision he most likely regrets, even if he's kind enough not to mention it.
It all started with a Lubitel, a Russion 6x6 TLR. I soon got a Praktica L SLR, at great expense at that time. Lack of light metering produced lots of wrongly exposed pictures, but the Sunny Sixteen rule helped.
At present, I'm getting used to my new P&S, a Yashica T5, which I intend to use for regular day-to-day snapshooting as well as for aerial photography, the camera being suspended from a kite.
