Minolta X-9
Posted by Kate on April 15, 2008
After contemplating, budgeting and analyzing what camera I should buy for myself, I have finally decided not to buy at all.
In the comfort of my home, I found a Minolta X-9 hidden somewhere in the bunch of bags in one closet. Anyway, it used to be my father’s camera. “Used to be” since I now declare it my own.
So I did not have to shell out precious thousands of pesos (even in installment) for a new camera, but I may have to spend more with films, developing and of course, wasted shots. My Minolta X-9, a film SLR camera.
Photography can be expensive, yet addictive and wonderful. I can’t recall how I fell in love with photographs. Probably brought by the wonders of nature. Isn’t it amazing to capture the beauty of a place, the awe of a person, or anything that’s so special in a photograph?
Anyway, I am excited with that camera. However, I just don’t know how to use it. I’m thinking about lots of shots going to be bad… Hmm…
Help me with it!
