Hello to all and thanks for helping me.

Arthur ~ Thank you for your kind words and advice.

I subscribed to "Lenswoorks" this morning after checking it out at a bookstore.

And I am taking your advice on jotting down what I want to learn, where do I want to go with photography... all of it. These were great ideas. It sounds like you would be a great mentor!

Dennis ~ I had no idea that 120 film could fit so many sizes!! That was a major eye opener. Thank you. I have about 1000.00 us set aside for a MF camera. What would be you top 3 or 5 cameras??

Richard ~ Thank yo so much for the advice on the types of cameras. I can go on to ebay and do some looking and start comparing them.

Stuart ~ I will go to the library and look up the Ansel Adams books you recommened. Living in New Mexico, it is hard not to like Ansel's work... I live in it in a way. What who would you recommend for portrait with a MF camera??

Thanks to all of you.

Hello,

I could use some advice.

I was looking through the past posts to this forum, and the from what I could tell,

there hasn't been a newer post since 2001 on what are some of the best books on medium format

cameras for beginners and/or professionals.

Also, what is a good used camera running for these days?

I am very new to this and love any advice you can share.

Cameras, film, books, classes......

I am open to anything that will help me learn and produce photos that tell a story. make you feel good,

make people take action....

or just look fantastic!!!

:)

Thank you,

Michele

Can someone please explain the difference between bracket settings and bracketing.

I don't think my little brain is getting a handle on it.

A friend is helping to understand photography.

He says my photos are really good but that I need to understand the basics also.

I completely agree with him.

I seem to have a good eye, and see things that other people don't.

But this bracketing thing is driving me nuts.

I am working with a Canon A-1 that my husband found at a garage sale for $5.00.

Any help would be great.

Thanks Michele
