Most photos look better with the monitor brightness turned up. All the photos here were taken with an Olympus Pen-EE3 point-and-click camera that I bought at a junk market for $28, I use 100 speed film and a UV filter. It is a half-frame camera, so the negatives are only 16 (or 17?) by 24mm (like 35mm movie film), I usually get 55 - 60 photos from a 24 roll of film.
