Description
Plain though this photograph may be, it is my first submission from a negative scan of 35mm film. Unlike most people, I have not progressed from film to digital; I have gone in the opposite direction (not counting the thousands of holiday snap-shots I took at the age of nine). Thus, I still have much to learn about using film. I find lighting issues, in particular, a lot more vital than in digital photography. I have learnt that whilst the photo may look great through the viewfinder, I have the graininess of the film to think about, and so I have to think more about shutter speed and aperture than it may initially appear.

In submitting this, it is hoped that some element of progress may be observed in a few months or years from now
