I'm looking forward to shooting at the Skylands...haven't been there in years. Can't wait to learn how to use my camera better.

Comment by Dave B on April 26, 2010 at 7:50pm: We will try to work on stuff like this:

Comment by Dave B on April 26, 2010 at 7:46pm: Hi everyone - I do 99% of my shooting with a digital SLR, but the controls translate perfectly to old 35mm cameras if you use one of those too. Point and Shoot cameras are MORE than acceptable for this as well.

Comment by James on April 26, 2010 at 1:58pm: I have an old, pre-instant camera SLR I've been wanting to shoot with. If I can wake up early enough (and find film) I'd love to try this out!
