Hi guys,
I'm very new to this forum but I read it quite often. I'm not a good photographer but I'm not really new in photography.
I need your help to figure out what happened with my Pentax 110 auto , maybe you have time to look over the photos I attached and shed some light on this.
I bought a set of three Lomography negatives, Tiger, Peacock (green scale) and Lobster.
All three are ISO 200, I didn't remove the pin selector.
I first tried the Tiger, and because something was wrong with either the battery compartment or light meter, I had to open the back to take out the batteries to unblock the shutter.
I managed to get out of the film 5-6 photos (the rest probably got damaged while opening the back cover). All this 5-6 were well exposed and usable.
Now comes the problem :
I then put in the Peacock negative. Prior to this I blown the dust from behind the lens inside the camera and I cleaned better the battery connectors.
The camera worked this time perfect, the auto exposure worked at every shot, I could see green or yellow according to the conditions outside.
Actually I managed to get about 28 photos out of the 110 cartridge.
The problem is that all 28 photos are very unclear, unusable .
Could you please take a look at the attached photos and tell me your opinion.
Are they overexposed?
Wrong developing ?
I developed at a known big name which has branches in one of the big supermarket chains in UK. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to give names here.
I would love to use this camera again but the failure I explained and with the cost of processing , £25 pounds , I'm afraid not to waste the money and the negative again.
Thank you for your patience to read this long story.
