The day the film wasn’t in the camera properly…

Today was spent driving in and around the Gorge Country about 30km east of Armidale. I took my beloved Nikon FE and my D5000 with me, and I was really excited about taking shots with real film. Every shot taken with the FE was composed as well as I could, and there was no dodgy stuff thrown in.

The first warning bells sounded when I got to 36 on my counter and I was able to keep on rolling the film for more shots. Around 38 I thought that it was odd enough to stop and rewind the film. About 2 1/2 winds of the film thingy and there was no more pressure that there should be with the film rewinding. I got really concerned, and when we got back into town I dropped off the film to get processed. Precisely one hour and ten minutes later I found out that no pictures at all were taken. Bugger.

Thankfully I had my D5000 with me and took some photos with it – and there were one or two that are ok enough to show here (but remember that I wasn’t composing or thinking about the shots too well).
