Kimberley Rew once sang.. I'm Walking on Sunshine (89800031)

Sorry, but I don't consider being born in the 80's really defines being an 80's child. What it really means is you were partying in the era , were you of age?, no one really cares if you were 10 years old and still having mom drop you off at the rollar skate rink. Being an 80's child you were most likely born between 1960 and 1970. You had big hair, wore spandex and leather, lots of jewelry, make-up, and bandanas. Masses of parties that were all heavy metal oriented and you dressed up like your favorite rock star. The groups you listened to were Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osborne, Whitesnake, Metallica, Dire Straits, etc, etc.. The music was actually better then and you could relate to it as you layed in your bed under your black light and stared up at all your posters on the walls of your favorite bands, and you even had those velvety black light posters. You rushed to the book store every time a new editon of Hit Parader and Circus Magazine hit the shelf. You had enough heavy metal albums to stock a record store. MTV was your mentor as you sat for hours watching every heavy metal video that came out and the headbangers ball was what you watched late Saturday nights after coming in stoned. This was before MTV started to suck and become talk shows. This is the 80's child.

Gears: Nikon FM2 and Nikon Nikkor 50mm F/1.8 AFD lens on Fujifilm Velvia 100F (RVP100F)
Location: Marang fishing village, Terengganu, Malaysia
Processing: None, just some digital ICE (dust removing) during the film scanning


Come to think of it, not bad from the cheapest lens ever made by Nikon. Ah and about the slide film, the vividness of Velvia is still there in the 100F. Although the speed is higher, 100F still has extremely fine grain. I definitely recommend that for landscape photography.
