Frustrations

Quite frustrated.  I purchased a Nikon FE off ebay, which appeared to be in great condition.  Indeed, when it arrived everything seemed to be functioning well.  I loaded it with a roll a Kodak Tri-X 400 and started shooting right away.  Unfortunately, after about 15 shots the camera started to lock up.  It will function only when it is in fully mechanical mode but you only have one shutter speed  in that setting.  Any other mode the mirror locks up and the shutter won’t fire.  The only way to get the mirror to unlock is to put it back in full mechanical mode.  I have checked the batteries and that is not the problem.  I guess I will take it to the shop, I am just hoping the fix does not cost me more than the camera did.  Moral of the story: this is why you should purchase used camera equipment from a local camera store as they will test out the equipment first to make sure it is sale-worth.

I went a head a developed the frames that I was able to capture.  Here is one of my rose bush in my back yard.
