Adventures in LBI (film)

JPmkV · Jul 23, 2012

This past weekend I took out my old Pentax 35mm film camera for the first time, and it's official, I'm in love with this thing! :heart: My friend Grace, a fellow photographer who I admire greatly, and I hit the beach and took as many pictures as possible. These are just a few of my favorites. I am very proud of these, and I would love to get some feedback, if you would be so kind! Have a great day! :mrgreen:

1.) LBI in the sand

2.)Black Eyed Susan

3.)Black Eyed Susan 2

4.) Grace's Balancing Act

5.) Grace

6.) Silhouette of Grace and her baby

7.) Grace staring down a tractor

8.) :heart:

9.) Grace stole my camera and took a picture of my goofy self. :mrgreen:

10.) We ended our day with a sunset on the bay.

It was a good day. :sillysmi:

Well...pretty cool shots man. What type of feedback are you looking for? There are some obvious serious underexposure issues with some.

Grace's balancing act is a fun picture to look at. I wish that hair or fiber were not in the URC on the scan...that looks kind of sub-par.

URC...not sure what that means.

Thank you! I am looking for any kind of feedback really. I agree completely that there are a lot of issues with underexposure. Some of the shots that are underexposed that create a silhouetting effect on her, i really like. But #2, #3, and #4 for sure needed a longer exposure. Thanks for the input!

Thank you very much! I'm unsure of what URC means as well.. The fibers you speak of, like the ones that are very apparent in #3? I found an old unused roll of film in my bag when i got this old camera, so I'm sure the film was starting to deteriorate a little bit and that's what caused that to happen, but I'm not sure.
