My first 120mm films

Yesterday I received my negatives and prints of the continental market back from the photo lab. Although I had managed to capture the essence of the market I was a little disappointed with the results as I felt the images were a little dark.
As there are only three settings on the camera, there was a little bit of luck involved when I exposed the films and although I am please with learning a new skill I feel it is something that I may have to practice with a little more.
With regard to personal progression, I have been introduced to a whole new world of photography and it is something that I would like to focus on in the near future.

When at the market I also took several captures using my digital camera (Nikon D300) and have tweaked the RAW images in capture One Pro. It made me realise just how much easier it is to capture events using a digital camera as I could see the shots instantly. whereas in contract i could not with the film camera.
I was relatively happy with the shots I took on my Nikon and have decided to include several of the images in my series of final prints because it shows that I can use a range of mediums to document an event. I will be posting some of these onto my blog this week.
