{"id":19262,"title":"My first time doing any photography, using my granddad's old camera","author":"Koppernob","permalink":"https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1cz4650/my_first_time_doing_any_photography_using_my/","description":"\nRicoh KR5 Super, Kodak Ultramax 400, XR Rikenon 35-70mm f3.5\n\nHi all, I'm looking for critique on my first roll of film. Any and all criticism very welcome please as I'd love to learn! I've done plenty of reading/YouTube vids but it's not the same as people in the know directly looking at your work. From what I can tell, I think I'm sometimes underexposing and need to work on composition, but I'm so happy that the camera even works and they've come out far better than I expected!\n\nI've never tried photography besides taking quick snaps of things on my phone, but I took an interest in film recently because I enjoy analogue technologies and my Dad enjoys (digital) photography. I mentioned it and he dug out my late granddad's camera from the loft -- I then spent a few very late nights cleaning it up and replacing the light seals, googling what an F stop is, battery voltage drop off curves, how film captures light etc... my dad got a bit emotional when he gave it to me and I'd like to think my granddad is somewhere smiling too. Last pic is my Dad doing what he loves. Thank you :)","score":599,"nsfw":false,"grayscale":false,"timestamp":1716499528,"sprocket":false,"images":[{"resolution":"low","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/bf5dccb9-6cb7-4201-affa-3ff2610b987c.jpeg","width":720,"height":477},{"resolution":"medium","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/f3a2897f-4a0e-4b1f-9cda-778e91f694b9.jpeg","width":1080,"height":716},{"resolution":"high","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/f4457093-c5de-4356-9524-c91a7f16baf7.jpeg","width":1440,"height":955},{"resolution":"raw","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/6b853bee-1249-48e3-9623-a0d74cb52ee6.jpeg","width":3024,"height":2005}],"colors":[{"hex":"#2a2508","css":"black","html":"black","percent":0.39625553},{"hex":"#333335","css":"darkslategray","html":"gray","percent":0.16726939},{"hex":"#f4f4f2","css":"whitesmoke","html":"white","percent":0.15424237},{"hex":"#807b5d","css":"dimgray","html":"gray","percent":0.12732646},{"hex":"#63576c","css":"dimgray","html":"gray","percent":0.0899342}],"keywords":[{"word":"car","weight":0.06919073},{"word":"depth","weight":0.05306664},{"word":"suggestions","weight":0.05306664},{"word":"blurry","weight":0.05306664},{"word":"granddad","weight":0.04429023},{"word":"lfa","weight":0.03877947},{"word":"flowers","weight":0.03653434},{"word":"building","weight":0.03653434},{"word":"ear","weight":0.03224819},{"word":"old","weight":0.02816614},{"word":"proud","weight":0.02632922},{"word":"9th","weight":0.02632922},{"word":"narrative","weight":0.02632922},{"word":"pleasant","weight":0.02632922},{"word":"palace","weight":0.0205123},{"word":"casual","weight":0.02041025},{"word":"model","weight":0.01622615},{"word":"kr10","weight":0.01622615},{"word":"chat","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"schoolkids","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"favourites","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"ricoh","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"state","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"face","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"view","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"sun","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"giddy","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"gents","weight":0.01612409},{"word":"machine","weight":0.01030717},{"word":"caffeine","weight":0.01030717},{"word":"blenheim","weight":0.01030717},{"word":"uk","weight":0.01030717},{"word":"kaodak","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"ultramax","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"contrast","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"praise","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"princess","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"fence","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"gold","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"couple","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"practice","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"dreamy","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"oxfordshire","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"phone","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"bride","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"water","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"delicious","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"grandad","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"addiction","weight":0.01020512},{"word":"battery","weight":0.00010205}]}
