Took some shots with a Canon AE-1

[Thrilla]

I found this camera left alone in the drawer collecting dust at our school, so I borrowed it and took some photos. They were Kodak iso 400 films developed onto matte finish then scanned using a multifunction printer, the photos themselves are crisp and looks much better than these low-res scanned.

Nice pics! Looks like you guys had fun with that car.... :eek:
I've actually got an AE-1 sitting here too... but it's going up on ebay so i can pay for a Canon 20D. :D

Excellent. :up:

Yeah, why exactly are you guys burning cars?

It wasn't us lol, a few ppl from our grad class went camping, and some ppl drove a 2005 grand Cherokee into a mud pit and other trucks started ramming into it; at night some other high school kids thought it'd be funny to set it on fire, so they did :s

ummm, on film, your iso is dependent on the film itself, you can't change it like you can on a digital camera..

[Thrilla]

Film ISO is fixed, but if I up the ISO on the ASA meter while still using the same film, I could let in less amount of light and extend the exposure, basically for every step up (ie. 200 to 400), I can either move up 1 f-stop (ie. from 5.6 to 8), or 1 shutter speed (ie. from 1/500 to 1/250).

From what I've learned on google, the smaller the ISO means more light is required to trigger the photo chemicals, and it has smaller grains for a fine texture, also less noise compared to fast film.

Got a few more :)
