diy photography

test shot @ norfolk, virginia
t-max 400 @ 800, pentax 50mm f/2 @ f/5.6

i finally got all my camera stuff on saturday morning (slr body, 50mm prime lens, film scanner), so i drove up to norfolk to learn b&w film development from pete. it was much easier than i thought, and quite fun as well. i imagine my darkroom (which'll essentially be my bathroom) should be set up by the end of this week. from here on out, no more digital photography! :)

so this picture was from the practice roll of film i took with the pentax k1000... the theatre sign in the background is a bit overexposed, due to my unfamiliarity with the light meter and balancing. but the film development turned out pretty darn good for a first try!
