Thread: Goat Country

Recently a good bugger on this forum @rugerman kindly gave me his old film camera to put to use. Far fancier than my previous camera it needed a good test run - Goat country it was.

8 goats knocked by 10am, with plenty of meat in the freezer. I've still got a fair bit to learn on how to use the camera but here's a few pics nonetheless.

them photos make me homesick...... good on you.

Nostalgic look to them.
How did you turn them from film to digital for here?

Sweet mate glad it's being put to good use
Oh and I've found the manual for the flash if you would like me to pop it in the post.

That's a very proud looking pooch

Most photography/film shops can develop direct to digital and email them out these days

Thanks mate, I don't think i'll be using the flash so no worries.

Bob was particularly uncomfortable with the camera pointed at him

I got two film Cameras, to capture a good picture with it is just like hunting,

Yes, using a camera body and lenses, is a mission on it's own.

On this, I spent years building up a Digital SLR Nikon set up, with 8 lenses, and I still use it sometimes, but the photos I get on the iPhone, are more than good for 90 % of the stuff I take. (not even the latest iPhone, mines an 8+).

The iPhone's zoom capability leaves a lot to be desired.
