I might have posted this already, but hey what the hell!

Gotta hate the end of the role.

My brother, liked the lighting.

All from the summer. Can't wait to get more film for winter.

It's still beautiful, repost or not!

Getitrightsteve: There is one company that I know of that made black and white slide film... It's called Scala, made by Agfa. There is really only one place to get it developed too (actually I may have found a second), though I am told you can do it in regular black and white chemicals.. you'll just get a negative instead of a positive, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Hope that helps!

Agfa Scala isn`t made anymore so it`s not really an option.

But any B&W negative film can be developed as a positive, the guys at dr5 CHROME - Black and White slide / transparency process + THE ONLY QUALITY SCALA PROCESSING WORLDWIDE is experts at it.

I didn't know they could do any black and white as positives, that's awesome! I know Scala's not made, but I recently came upon about 21 rolls of it, which is why I mentioned it. It can still be found, occasionally.

I also have a quick question for you Rebel XT users. When I have the camera dial on the "P" setting, I can't seem to transfer the images over. Is there a way to fix that?

P as in Priority, A as in Aperture priority, S as in Shutter priority. you need to change the change the setting on the type of files you grabbing

P stands for Program.

Thanks man! I have a lot to learn..
It's like being in kindergarten all over again...
Yeah, he unloaded that piece of junk on me...
Sure is a crappy camera...

I know one thing, that camera is a lot smarter than me...

A picture my friend took of himself... no editing. Done with a strobe light in the bathtub.

Strobe light in the bathtub? He showed you this?

Have you noticed any weird cuts or scars on his wrist

No he didn't show me. I asked how he did it and he told me.

Ha ha no... though I did have to dance with this goth girl in gym class once...

A few old ones:

I use a Canon Rebel XT/350D. It's about a year old now.

I'm about to make a dive into film, but I don't know where to start. I know y'all can help! Are there SLR Nikons that are compatible with Nikkor AF-S lenses? I've got a D40 and I would love to be able to just swap lenses. I'm just learning, so an old camera that I could find on craigslist or ebay would be just fine.

F6, F5, F100, F80, F75, and F65 are all fully compatible with AF-S and VR lenses.
For AF-S only you can add F90, F4 and F70.

The best buy you can do is the F100, a fully "PRO" camera that can be had for very little money. I love mine.
