Hey /p/. I recently took an interest in photography after shooting with my parent's camera during summer vacation (I'm still in high school). I recently bought an Olympus Trip 35 because I like film photography and want to start from basics.
What are your shooting tips? It's a pretty simple camera, so I was thinking of bringing with me wherever I go to snap cool shots as I see them. I was planning on making a little "High School" series of photographs sort of chronicling the experience before I graduate.
Also, I shot a few rolls, and although some were good, a lot of pictures were blurry, even though I checked the focus ring. Any suggestions for that?
Anyways, thanks for the help, any input is greatly appreciated?

A manual film camera is ideal for learning the basics of photography

No it isn't, a film camera is a slow, convoluted way to learn photography. A digital camera that can shoot in manual mode is the best way.

I think it's pretty simple

Bumping this because the replies are garbage, can anyone help me out?

Sounds like you've been shooting on 1/40 and haven't been steady enough. Honestly the Trip 35 is a bad camera to learn on, its features are very non-standard and often highly limiting. This goes for P&Ss in general. If you actually want to learn the basics of technical photography you're far better off with an SLR with a good, reliable meter and shutter.

If you don't have a preference/loyalty to a particular mount then just go with whatever you can find cheap. Canon, Minolta, Pentax, Nikon, as long as it has a working manual metering system (i.e. No automatic or priority modes). If you want good quality for cheap go for M42 and get a Praktica or Spotmatic, or even a Zenit for that sweet Helios lens.

Something with good lenses that can be used or adapted to digital. I used a Nikon N2000 when I started and recently upgraded to the F3. The old nikkor manual focus lenses are amazing value.
