PhotoDump 04-06-2008
By Brian Auer • April 6th, 2008More great photos this week from the Epic Edits Flickr Pool! I don’t know if we just had a larger than usual group of awesome photos, or if I’m getting soft — either way, we’ve got a big selection of photos this week. It’s great to see that the group is still growing at a steady rate!

Thanks a lot, is so nice to see pictures in your photodump
I still say that you and wolf.brigade are going to make my wife kill me. I been itching to play with some film again because of you guys. =D
Hahaha! Good! Well… not the killing part. The nice part about photography today versus the film era is that you can shoot film as a fun little aside rather than a primary means of capture (at least for those of us who own digital cameras). So you shoot a few rolls every now and then, no biggie. If it gets too expensive or time consuming, just back off and lean on the digital camera.
Hey Brian,
Glad I found your blog, and thanks for adding my pic to this photodump, I’m honored : )! I wanted to contribute to this conversation about using film because it is something that I’ve only recently begun (as in 7 days ago) following taking tons of pics with my rebel xti since christmas. I thing digital is fantastic because it allows you to see immediate results, so the learning curveis much faster than it would be for someone learning on a comparable film camera. Now that I feel fairly comfortable with my camera (i use the word ‘comfortable’ liberally…) I bought my first roll of b+w film last weekend, popped it into my dad’s old Olympus OM10, a camera that dates back to 1979 (before I was born, but just). The only automated feature it has is exposure, and though I haven’t yet finished out the roll its a new (and exciting) experience to have no idea how the photos are going to turn out … probably not fantastic since I’ve often forgetten to even turn the camera ON, meaning the exposure is set at whatever value I’ve left the manual adapter turned to (something else I often forget about, but its about progress, right?). So glad I found photography this Christmas and look forward to following your blog.
