SO. The answer to my predicament proves to be electrical tape. It's actually very neat stuff--clings to the camera without wrinkling around the corners. It works SPLENDID. Until my battery runs out. Two weeks, give or take.
This is a picture of the film camera (Minolta 7000 ca. 1985) my grandpa is borrowing to me. Looking through the viewfinder on this baby is stunning--we'll see how the pictures develop. It has auto-focus, which is a definite help. I love it soooo much! But I don't know how to use it to the extent of its capabilities yet. Again, I have to see if the film turns out to see if I'm using it correctly. The only thing automatic on this camera as far as I know is the focus. Haha. Good thing I usually shoot in manual on my Nikon, so I know a bit about those sort of functions.

Yay electrical tape! That stuff really is a lifesaver. I'm so glad you're back to photography--my blog list has been very lonely without your lovely posts.
ReplyDeleteI love how cameras themselves manage to look so artistic. Really love the colors on the lens there in the center. Nice background choice, too!
