The first thing that pops into your mind when someone says photography is a camera. Well you can't take pictures without one. Most people only know of digital photography - the ones with the electronic controls - but there is also film photography. Now with film photography, some parts of the camera are electronic but others aren't, it all depends on what kind of film camera you have and how old it is. The best thing about film cameras is that everything is done manually! You have to focus it, find the correct shutter speed, the correct aperture and the zoom, but that's the same for all cameras.
My school offers classes in both film and digital photography and this semester I'm doing film photography. There is a big upside to the assignments, you get to take pictures with a film camera! See, not all assignments are boring, I'm having great fun with mine.
If you have any form of camera lying around your house, go out and take pictures. It's fun, gets you outside and there is no limit on creativity! You can photograph anything you wish, but if it's people, be sure to ask for their permission first.
