I was in Oban only last Monday, on a daytrip from a certain well known place. Cheers! (it was only raining some of the time ........ )I'm actually on holiday until next Saturday but cleverly posted a load of film, including the roll with my entry on, from a post office in a tiny village on the shores of Loch Awe in Argyll. Hopefully, the download will be waiting for me when I get home.
Sounds ideal for RandomI did take some RANDOM photos today, unintentionally. I now know what the little dial on the top of the Rolleiflex SL35E marked with a zero does. Nudge it with your finger while adjusting exposure compensation and it turns on a silent 10 second delay timer after you press the shutter release. So where the lens was pointing on the last 5 shots I tried taking is anyone's guess.
I did similar with my Minox 35GT as I assumed it had cancelled the selftimer after I had deliberately taken a selftimer shot. Disappointingly, I had closed the cover over the lens after each subsequent shot, so only blank frames from these. Hopefully you'll get something better!I did take some RANDOM photos today, unintentionally. I now know what the little dial on the top of the Rolleiflex SL35E marked with a zero does.

Growing things e.g. vegetables and cutting 100 yards of 8ft high hedge, weeding, grass cutting etc etc has slowed my use of the camera right down and will have to force myself to put up something for the comp..I think the best way would be to try and shoot June, July maybe August in one outing.
Commiserations on your weather Brian, but I actually read your post just before I set off for my pre-breakfast walk at Banff yesterday, although the forecast had been for rain. (apologies for the phone pic )Well got a shot for random erm but no 5 of 24 frames.....can I get through the film in the next few days allowing for Filmdev. I dunno about you guys around the UK but the weather is horrible in the London area
Lol. You saying that made me think that it would have been really cool to take a film, roll a dice to determine the development time (as an ex-RPG player, a d10 or d12 would have been about right) then share the best resulting image no matter what it was.And I must develop mine ....
Roll a dice to select the frame off the roll?Lol.

Why are my best ideas always in hindsight...?

Thanks I'll check, got bigger fish to fry at the mo
Yes, breaking in a new server hamster can be time consuming and even painful, watch out for the teeth !Thanks I'll check, got bigger fish to fry at the mo
I've had a look but even the f and c maxi shoehorn won't work. Unfortunately I've taken very few shots this year and most of those were digital (apologies). I'll be back next month and watch out it's gonna be a scorcher.Surely a shoehorn from somewhere since December Andy? Creative interpretation always appreciated.
I absolutely get this Lindsay, as I was away for a few days last week and the weather wasn't conducive to photography at all, far less film. Unusually, I was fully prepared with 4MF cameras and several ideas for shots I wanted, but only shot some on the 1620, and that film had been in the camera for a couple of months. Also shot a few frames on the disposable, so hopefully something worthwhile when I eventually finish them!I don't think it's just me that is struggling to get out doing togging, crusty or otherwise. I blame work to a large degree, but also with unhelpful weather and too many people around during these summer months, it's proving very hard to motivate myself to go out there. I have four film cameras loaded but no inspiration etc. I'll keep trying though
