So you may be lucky, or you may have also created minimalist masterpieces! Or crap pictures. Know what you mean about not spraying the area, I've just put a film in this new Olympus I've got but it's going to be ages before I see the results! On 120 with 12 shots a film it seems to take the same number of weeks as 35mm/24.
I'll see what comes out. To be honest, I'm not so bothered about the pictures themselves; I'll know about the framing for next time. I'm more interested in seeing how it deals with the colours, how it focuses and how sharp (or more probably not) the images are.
Must try to get out this weekend.
