First photos on my Pentax K1000 · **2 Likes**

These are the very first film photos I have had developed!! These are my first photos (that I like) on my Pentax K1000. I was a little disappointed when I saw the light leaks on some of my other photos but reminded myself that now I know my camera works and all it needs is a new light seal!! I attached one of the photos with the light leak, I believe my flash was too bright as well. A lot of practice is still needed but it is definitely a hobby I want to keep up!!

A nice first set. I like 1 & 4 the most. Exposure seems absolutely nice.

Was the first picture at the beginning of the roll?
It looks more like what routinely happened then {I just took ‘throw away’ pictures there} than ‘light leak’.

Nice shots! Looks like you are making good use of the K1000.

Keep it up! I've sure burned a lot of film on such pictures.
Good shot of the old abandoned prairie house. And the nice "camera smile" on the little tyke is a good shot too.
Angky.
