On the move
That is not to say that the F3 has not been used at all without success, as I think both the photo above and the one to the right illustrates. Both of which was from the same roll and these are only a few of the photos that I have taken this summer that I am well pleased with, there has of course been plenty mediocre and out right “never mind what I was attempting, what was I even thinking…” shots where immediatly after pressing the shutter I realised I pressed the shutter simply because it felt like I had not taken a shot in a while and needed to take a photo…
