Thanks! From the light googling ive done the Nikon FE is quite a rugged camera, my grandad knew his stuff and chose wisely. I think this camera has been about a bit. He was a keen hiker and I think it might have done a few trips around the Pyrenees and mayve even the Himalayas. I was surprised by how well some of the shots came out (when you're expecting crap nearly everything is good!).
One of the really interesting things Ive noticed about having a fixed lens and having to make each shot count is it makes you look differently at the world.
I have 2 lenses for the nikon - a 55mm and a 105mm. Both offer a totally different framing to the super wide angle that my phone gives. It forces you to look harder at the world I think, it opens the possibilities to capture details that are nearly impossible to capture on a phone.
Looking forward to maybe getting stuck into the weekly photo comp too.

Welcome.
I think it's cool you picked up your granddads camera and that it still works.
Really like the third shot you posted.
Have fun!
