Hi,
I may well pop in and out of here a bit.
Recently (i.e. within the last month) dug out my old film camera (Minolta X-500) with a view to taking it to New York in a couple of months.
Trying various things at the minute (buying a few new (to me)) lenses and kind of enjoying the process. Pardon the pun.
Finding it very hard to stop myself looking at the back of the Camera after each shot though.

It's a lovely shot Chris, but is it meant to be in the FPotY entries thread?
No, and yes! Many apologies, this was meant to be in the "Show us yer pics" thread. I have no idea what went wrong, other than a severe case of anno domini.

And I’ve noticed more votes in total
I've not entered Film or Digital POTY this year after completing both last year.
I have still been looking & voting though.

Sorry about that. I had issues to deal with last month that caused me to take my eye off the wheel. I have voted though and it’s certainly looking close. I’ll be back in the game I hope next time.

Absolutely! I’m sure we all have have priorities more important than our hobbies. As long as you’re healthy all good.

There's still a few hours to go but so far only 3 entries this month, what do we want to do about voting?
I'm posting this now because I've got a busy weekend and might not back to this until Sunday evening

I've almost given up on it TBH due to the lack of interest in previous months! Gone are the days of 20 + entries . There is huge talent in this section it would be awesome if more members would take part, I love the images produced by them, so talented!
I'm concerned about film, it appears the resurgence is well & truly over, film has become stupidly expensive and colour chemicals are difficult to get.
The other evening I went on a long exposure workshop and I took my 6 x 6 film camera, I didn't even set up as it wasn't worth it due to the cost/frame and my expected results.
Very sad about it all.

I'm trying not to think about it much, even though prices can really put me off too.
The first time I gave up on film (around 2010) was because of the prices.
You said you're "Very sad about it all", "concerned about film" so that means you would probably be gutted if you gave up on film.
I've started with digital in 2004 but moved to film in 2005 and was enjoying photography much more. When I quit film, went back to digi I really did not like photography that much until I picked up a film camera again.

Very similar to this, I have a really good digital camera but to me it's not photography; I hate lightroom & Photoshop which is where digital is at. Unless you are an expert at those editing suites your pictures will always be average.
I love film and at the moment I feel it is close to be coming so expensive I might as well pack it all in
