BRING your roll of film to the chemist or photo shop, wait a week for them to be developed, then pray that you’ve got some decent photos.
Remember… there was no way of deleting the photo once that shutter button was pressed, the deed was done, and you’d soon find out how good or bad you were at taking photos.
A few tips to avoid disappointment:
- Make sure you have film in the camera!
- Flash check: do you need the flash or not?
- Point the camera in the direction of your intended object (use the viewfinder).
- Keep your hand steady then hit the shutter button.
Hopefully you’ll be successful and give David Bailey a run for his money.
