    I’ll be putting something in, just haven’t had the time when the light is decent.

    I'm still mulling over which one of my two mediocre attempts to submit and i'm blaming @stickyfiddle for his "product shot" comment...until then i thought they were both pretty decent and now I'm thinking Guitarist 5* promo shot  ;)

    I didn't mean it as a negative thing. Much more just that I'm trying to push myself to think more "arty" in all photography. 

    FWIW, my other option was this one:

    sorry @stickyfiddle i wasn't trying to imply your  comment was negative, just that it made me think again about the pics in a new light

    After taking what I hoped would be some "creative" shots for this months' competition, I went to collect my prints this afternoon only to find they hadn't exposed -- I was disappointed to say the least. However, I ended up walking away with a DSLR with the intention to recreate what I had in mind before the competition closes. Fingers crossed!

    Have you worked out why they didn’t expose?

    Well, I got another ME Super body because the smear on the focusing screen on my other one was annoying me. I'm not entirely certain why they didn't expose, but it's possible the film slipped off the spool. Having said that, it did feel like it was advancing when I took shots, so it could be something else altogether.

    Either the take up spool didn’t take up and the film stayed in the cartridge or the shutter isn’t firing at all. 

    If you open the back will it let you fire a shot off to see if the shutter opens?

    Thanks mate, it must've been the spool as the shutter is working fine. Noob lesson learned.

    When you attach it, fire off at least 2 shots with the back open to make sure it’s taken up. Maybe even three. On a 36 exp roll you’ll still get 36 (or you might lose 1) but that’s better than losing 36 :)

    I've not had trouble with them before, so hopefully your first point is correct  :)

    You should do your own developing - honestly.. it’s easy, requires a relatively small initial outlay, and each roll is 1/10 the price to develop compared to a lab. Heck, I’d even teach you how to do it - fool proof
