    Great video! Next time you go back, i do recommend Left Gully. I think it’s a bit steeper than Right Gully, not as steep as Sluice or the Lip. But to me it’s the most scenic line in the bowl, a beautiful rock-walled cirque.

    That’s awesome I’ve hiked Mount Marcy once 15 years ago. An incredible summit. The Adirondacks are amazing. I’ve been doing lots of adventuring in the Whites the last several years, I need to get back to the Adirondacks again. From some angles they’re as beautiful if not more beautiful than the Whites are.

    Hey! I have this beautiful camera too. I went out and shot a role about 5 years ago when I was just getting into photography and because it was so wobbly to look through the top view finder, I just left it on the shelf. BUT I am ready to start using it again . My question is; is there any way to adjust the exposure on this camera?? Or is it just set via the shutter speed??

  • @beeiharrison6943
    @beeiharrison6943 2 місяці тому

    can you tell me what each shutter speed is used for ? like is one better for indoor vs out door ? low lighting vs bright lighting ?

    • @rideronthestorm_
      @rideronthestorm_ 2 місяці тому

      Pretty much. Shutter speed depends on lighting. One example, if you’re outdoors on a sunny day you’ll use a faster shutter speed like 500 or 1000. If you’re in a dim or poorly lit room you’ll want a slower shutter speed like 125. Reason for that is, you don’t need to have the shutter open for long if it’s already bright out, vs a dark room where you’ll need a slower shutter speed so that you can let more light in. Shutter speed is basically the amount of time that you let light in. You’ll either under or overexpose your pictures with the wrong setting

      That bit isn't a screen, it's just a place you can store a "memo" i.e. if you tear off the film box lid and pop it in there (from the top) you can make sure you remember what film you're shooting with.
