Good start. I esecially like the portrait of the older gent and tht of the two women hugging. Try bouncing the flash off the ceiling next time if it's low and white. Pull up the little bounce card next to the flash lens as well.

Well, I finally got around to posting some photos from the first roll (Ilford Delta 400) I shot with my christmas present: a Mamiya m645 with an 80mm f/2.8. http://forksandhope.com/m645/ I definitely have a lot to learn, but I think the images have a nice / quality/ about them. Most of the portraits were taken using a Pentax AF540 flash, set to Aperture priority, ISO 400, with the body set to 1/60 and f/2.8, /4.0, or /5.6 aperture, depending on my desired depth of field. This seems like cheating to me, but hey, it seemed to work. :) The exterior shots were from the Leslie spit, down by the water in Toronto, and I used my *ist DS as a meter - that was clearly less successful, and I'd like to pick up a cheap meter or AE prism to make things easier. I'd really like to explore high and low ISO b/w film now. Don't really know much about available 120 film, anything I should try out?
