First roll through the AE-1

I said I'd post what came out of it. Here's the first roll.

Everything came out great! I mean I’m a bit rusty with a meter and manual focus, but overall I’m very happy with the results of my first roll. I wasn’t sure whether the camera would even work, so I didn’t spend much time on compositions or thinking too much about subjects. Have a look!

We did a morning dip down at Barton Springs and I shot a bit in the backyard. Looking forward to sharing more in the future!
