First pics with K1000

First pics with K1000 · 05:28 AM

Ok I bought this camera used, so I could start taking pics again. I love my little Olympus digital for those quick shots when out messing around but I wanted a "real" camera again. My daughter says I'm old school, she has some fancy digital one. So here are some shots from the first roll I ran thru it.

No pp yet will play with them this week.

Thanks Tracey

I like them! You also get to hear something that is missing form the DSLRs, that classic K1000 mechanical shutter sound.

Every once in a while I'll pull out my trusty K1000 too. I was at a graduation with it once, my neice was giving a valedictorian speech. The hall was fairly quite and you could hear the beeps and whirring from all the digital cameras, then I took a pic and 90% of the audience spun around wondering what the heck that noise was!!

Nice pics by the way.

they look a bit over exposed. (on my monitor anyway) what ASA film were you using? by the way, old school is where its at. although I dont care for the K1000 (blasphemy I know)

All but the second one were shot on 400 spd film the second one was shot on 200 spd. I also was playing with the shutter speed. Like I said I just bought it off ebay so I wasn't sure if it even worked.The sun was just coming up so it was full on that one side. If I can I will go to Andersonville State Park(POW/MIA, Civil War) this weekend and take some more.

And yes I love hearing the shutter snap( I even have it on my cell phone camera)

Thanks for the looks....Tracey
