This is dad’s Pentax K1000 with his cheap Gemini zoom lens. The next roll I shoot with my Nikon FG-20 will use this lens via an adapter. I don’t think the lens is all that great, and it’s tough to use and keep in focus, but I want to do the experiment and see how it goes. Research, babie!
Forrest Lake in Methuen was frozen the last time I was there. It’s still pretty cold out, but the temps have been hitting the 50’s on most days. Here’s looking forward to the next time I visit Forrest Lake when there won’t be any ice to be found anywhere.
Forgive me. It’s a lazy Sunday at home and I am having fun being a nerd with film photos.
Here’s another before and after messing with Lightroom on my iPhone post. This time it’s the Spicket Falls Dam in Methuen, MA. Is the edited in Lightroom version better than the non-edited in Lightroom version?
Tenney Castle courtyard in Methuen, MA. This is from Dad’s camera with the cheap zoom lens. The next roll I shoot with my camera will use the same lens. I need to know if it’s going to work for me at my step daughter’s graduation in a couple of months.
This is a scan of one of my crappy pictures. The only edits are the auto setting in Apple Photos.
This is the same image after I screwed around with it in Lightroom on my iPhone.
I over did it, right? Like, big time?
I really want to shoot some film today. I might be taking a drive into Cambridge, and if I do and if the daylight is okay, I might take a short stroll through Harvard Square and I might bring Dad’s Pentax K1000 and a roll of film or two with me and see what happens. No promises though. It’s still kinda cold out there. We’ll see.
Can you see the ducks? They were pretty well camouflaged, but there are a bunch of them in the shot.
I forgot to check something when I took this. I can’t remember exactly, but some setting was off and the light meter wasn’t at a good spot and I ended up a little underexposed… and I kinda like it.
I think I was trying to trigger the light meter and I bumped the shutter button too hard. I think that was what happened.
