Shooting on the Canon A-1

Day 01 of my return to film is almost under my belt. I'm taking extreme caution to not be trigger-happy -- a problem I often find myself having while shooting digital. So far today, I've shot 7 frames, a pretty good number I think for a day's work. 

Anyway, I got a pretty great deal on this Canon A-1 and with it were two fantastic lenses. Right now, I'm shooting on a 50mm f/1.8 FD lens. Pretty darn sharp and the camera is quite lovely to use. It's a little more robust than the Yashica I used back in middle school when I first started shooting film (I really wanted to find that camera...) but I do have an affinity for all the manual dials and controls. I wish my digital was more like this to be honest.

Here's a couple of photos.
