Film Photography

A few friends convinced me that I should give film photography a try so I took the plunge!

The camera I chose is the Pentax K1000 which came with a 50mm f/2 lens. I wanted to find something that was completely manual/analog but still had a functional exposure meter and that’s exactly what the K1000 provides. With the exception of the meter, the camera is completely functional without a battery.

It’s been an adjustment to photograph with full manual controls, including manual focus which I almost never need when shooting digital.

My first roll* was Kodacolor 200 and I had a few photos that I was really happy with which I’ll share here.

*: My actual first roll was a b&w Kodak Tri-X and, sadly, the lab mistakenly destroyed it when they processed it as color. It’s a sad outcome, but I suppose all a part of the overall experience with film! Honestly, I was a little relieved that it was the lab’s mistake and not my own.
