Experimenting with my film SLR

I used to take lots of pictures, and my dad works in the photography
industry and used to get sample cameras at a discount, so sometime in
high school I was given an older SLR—a Ricoh XR-X 3PF. I used it a
lot then, but I hadn’t really used it in a couple years.

Lately, though, I’ve been ogling digital SLRs, and missing playing
with digital photography. Before dropping $1000 or more on a Nikon
D80 or D50 or something, though, I wanted to make sure I really
wanted one. So I bought some ISO 200 film (my first mistake—the ISO
800 wasn’t that much more expensive, and I’d have gotten better
pictures) and took my camera out to play. Here are some of the
results from my low-light, outdoor, no tripod adventure.
