I've always had at least a little experience with various cameras but as for analog ones, I used to take photos only with AF. I bought my first analog only recently, unused Smena Symbol and I hope that I'm using it correctly.

Ah, the biggest problem is that I own no lightmeter and it increases the probability that most of photos will be too bright (and maybe fine this way?).
Early evenings, you say? I've been wondering when I should think of using a lamp. Indoor evenings and nights in general? Some people doesn't use it at all and it is really confusing.

Yes, it helps, thank you, sweetie! I have to try everything by myself but now it'll be easier.

Honestly, I failed miserably. And it wasn't exactly my fault. It turned out that my Smena Symbol is broken, it's shifting a film too little. So in the end, I ended up with no photos. Induced film looks fine - I would be in love in the photos from Sweden - but unfortunately, there's no point in scanning them. I have them gathered as one long picture. Not nice at all.
I've lent a Zenit 122 though. It's truly amazing, I love having lightmeter, since I can be sure that the exposition will be all right. I have some prints but I had no money to scan them on something better than my flat scanner. If you want, I can send them to you around next month~

I still have a problem with shooting indoors on late evenings anyway! I know that I could just shoot with longer time but a lightmeter still says that it's too dark. Electricity doesn't help (that much). Maybe it's because I work on 200 ISO (Fuji C200 and Fuji Superia 200) films, I'm thinking about getting 400 ISO to check them out.
