Experimenting with camera! [56k not cool!]

Me and Tom went on an adventure to Camp Casey State Park a few weeks back and we got all 4 rolls of film developed at once [$35 later]. Note that these pics were taken with a 35mm 1983-85 Minolta X-570. I have no clue what lenses we used but we used two. Here are some of the better ones

practice makes perfect. most of the pics are either out of focus and over exposed. what type of film were you using?

Keep that up like that and you'll be able to make your very own Myst style game.

B/c of things like CMOS, CCD, and auto ISO its nice to just be able to step back and take your own pictures. Nice work!

Looks like the lighthouse was added onto the house or vice-versa. The house has a bit of cream in it and the lighthouse is sterile white. Could be me.

Oh they aren't that badly out of focus. It may be the over exposure thats causing me to see two different whites with the lighthouse though. But I'm no pro...only things I take pics of are rocks.
