I love this hood ornament. Took this at the last C&C event with my Nikon F4S on Fuji 400 film.

Some others.

I need to go back here on a not gloomy, overcast day.

And some water chickens.

There's still something neat about film - to get these digitized, did you just use a regular scanner on developed photos or do you have an actual negative scanner?

When I get the film developed I get prints and a cd.

I need to give another go with film - I got an old Nikkormat camera from my grandfather and I’ve shot one roll of film, but haven’t yet developed it. I’m too worried that it’s just going to be a collection of 24 shots that are completely white or black because I’m not sure if I got the exposures right. I've grown up taking digital photographs and am too used to the comfort of the instant display/histogram to take good looking shots.

I definitely recommend it. You tend to be put more thought into a film photography because you have a limited number of shots. And the wait to get it developed not knowing how anything came out is fun.

I only got into photography recently when I got a Nikon D3300. If you’ve got a dslr, mess around with it in manual mode until you get the hang of it, and an idea on settings for different scenarios. Does the Nikkormat have any type of built in light meter?

Some cameras have a built in light meter. If not, you can also get an app for your phone. Or, some folks will just scope he scene with their dslr to determine aperture and shutter speed and then set the film camera accordingly. Regardless, I recommend giving film a go. I got into film about 2 weeks after I got my D7000 and have enjoyed it ever since

It does have a built-in, battery-powered meter, I believe it’s still working. I tried using it (essentially the meter is just a needle on a gauge: if it’s centered, it’s the most balanced exposure, and over/under center are over/under exposed photos.

You can’t be too far off then.
