Came across my moms old film camera right before I left for some travel so thought I’d try my hand at it. I thought I did pretty good but when I show people they give me the same reaction i give people who’s photos look awful but don’t want to hurt their feelings. I really enjoyed myself while doing this process and fear I am now hooked to the hobby which ultimately is what it’s all about but I’m hoping someone can give me an idea where I actually stand so I’m not being that guy trying to show off straight garbage. I want to make some prints to give as gifts but not if they suck

I have about 60 or so photos from my trip but these are the first 6 in line and I don’t want to spam it up . I have a feeling it’s just the b&w that makes it look good in my eyes as it’s something new not necessarily something good.

If there’s any tips also really welcome I don’t know what I’m doing. I ruined half my first roll just from loading it wrong.

I just dropped out of university and decided I need a swing arm chopper to ride down the coast until I figure out what I want to do with my life. I’m a big Honda and Suzuki fan but I’m worried they might be too small for my long ass legs. I should also mention I’ve ridden a bike like twice but I like to learn my lessons the hard way so I’m going all in.

Is there any models I should be looking for specifically for this build that can accommodate these bean poles I have attached to my body or is it safe to send anything

Also There’s a cheap gold wing near me is that a bad idea and/or really hard to convert because I think it could be kind of pimpin

I’m buying something by next Saturday no compromise so please help guide me before I bury myself financially . I need to ride from Canada to California while I’m 21 it’s non negotiable for the dad lore .
