Using an analog camera

For the past 10 years, I have been using a digital camera. From all those years, I haven’t learned how to use the camera manually, or learned about all the lenses that can be used and the effects that can be made with cameras. I always thought that taking a picture was just to aim the subject in the middle, and click, but coming to this photography class I have learned that the unintentional photos that you take, sometimes turn out to be the best pictures you take.

An analog camera is very similar to a digital camera, in terms of iso, exposure, aperture, etc. The only thing different in a analog camera is that an analog camera uses an film instead of capturing an image, and changing the analog image into digital. Analog cameras have lots more buttons, and levers. One thing I struggled at was in opening the area where the film is kept. Analog cameras are exactly the same as using a digital camera, but if you need to print the image, you need to have a dark room, or use a printer that can print from film cameras.
