One of my favourites - scanned from a 35mm negative and taken on an ancient Russian SLR without a proper light meter in less than ideal lighting but I was very happy with the outcome.

It wasn't a Zenit by any chance? My first SLR was a secondhand Zenit-E. Had so much fun with it until it started letting light in and I had to tape the cover up after changing the film each time. A lot of what I learned carried over well into DSLR land too.

I was a Zenit. Also my first SLR and bought for a fiver at a car bootsale! I had a lot of fun with that. I really must take it out and have a play with again. Very limited it some ways but I always found it great fun to use.

@User9609 - Nice photo. I don't normally like HDR. It's personal preference, but most of the time it just doesn't look natural, but you seem to have cracked it first go and struck that balance of getting the best out of the colours while still keeping a natural look.

@john59 - the Tiger and the Leopard. Wow! Fantastic.

For anyone that likes animal photos, I really love Nick Brandts stuff. Worth having a look at.

A quick plug for PhotographersChat, one of Shaun's latest projects for world (wide web) domination, which could do with some more members and content
