    Jimmy B goes retro

    For some unknown reason I decided to burn a roll of film today. Dusted off the Pentax ME Super and a couple of lenses. Loaded a roll of Kodak gold 200 and loaded Justin in the car for a ride to the Lynnwood, Wa. heritage center and Lynnwood convention center. Here are a few from today.

    Thanks Dave, it was a fun couple of hours. Justin managed to get a few nice shots with the P&S.

    Looks like your film skills are as good as your digital skills.
    Looks like Justin had a good day.
    What's that in his hand in the third shot?
    Keep Shooting!

    Nice Jimmy! I may have to pull out one of my film cameras and give them a run. I'm thinking the Nikon F it's my oldest and dearest.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: Jimmy B goes retro

    Thanks all! I had a bit of a challenge since I haven't shot with that camera for a long time:-) It does make me want to use manual focus on some of my newer bodies.
    Frog he is playing with the remote cable for the camera that I had with me for use with the tripod I used on a couple of shots.
    OT go for it there is no chimping the shot like digital and you have the wait factor of getting the shots back from getting developed. I did find myself looking at the back of the camera several times, it was all ways black :-)LOL
