One of my favorite hobbies is photography. I got my first camera, when I was 10 years old. It was just a manual 35mm range finder camera, old and not even needing a battery, but it meant a lot to me. My father, who gave it to me, got it and used it when he was a teenager. I soon learned the basics of photography. I learned the meanings of aperture, shutter-speed, film-speed, and how those are related to each other. Just a few years later my grandfather gave up his huge SLR camera equipment. It became too heavy for him, so he gave it to my father and bought a smaller automatic 35mm camera. (By now he has a fancy digital camera)
My father rarely used it, as he did not have the time to and preferred his small manual 35mm Rollei range finder camera (Which indeed is a great camera), so I soon was the one who used it.
