The analog Mr. Mu "noob to skilled" progression - new: with added skillz!

[Mr. Mu]

Hi folks,

I am trying to get better at photography and thought I might give it a try via this forum.

I do this the analog way with a Pentax Super A (aka Super program) and a couple of fixed focal length lenses and one zoom.

The new photos will mostly til exclusively be b/w photography, because beginning with my next film I will start to process my films myself to gain higher control about the results I get from it.


GOALS:

- I want to get better! (I want to make the title of the thread come true )
- I want to be able to reliably produce/create a photo
- I want to be able to shoot my own usable reference photography for my artistic anatomy exercises (see also: http://mu.cgsociety.org/gallery/ )
- I want to have fun!

So c&c away at those images and help a noob out.

for starters, two frames from my "first" film (after a decade-long break)

images from before my decade long break with my old vivitar camera, for the sake of completeness and because I like them... (hrng, excuse the crappy scans!)
