iteration
Had to travel for the first time in awhile and decided to challenge myself with a point and shoot from the past, a Petri Color35. Very small camera, zone focusing, manual with in my case a non-working meter (not a big deal) but totally non-calibrated shutter speeds (a bigger deal). I've used this equipment before, but I'm just not sure of the shutter speeds so just tried to sit at either 1/60 or B and hope for the best. What I learned is my total lack of confidence in exposure will make me work out the accuracy before I bring this otherwise fun little camera out the next time. Lots of guessing the guesswork, taking notes, and finding out some wildly different numbers and exposures. Good to learn one's limitations. Thanks again to all the flickeranians who keep pushing us to think more deeply - you all are inspiring!
