{"id":31268,"title":"First year of film photography [Pentax Spotmatic - various film stocks]","author":"hollerme90s","permalink":"https://www.reddit.com/r/analog/comments/1hrqwq2/first_year_of_film_photography_pentax_spotmatic/","description":"I’ve always wanted to get my hands on film photography but I never had a chance to try it out until I bought a cheap Pentax Spotmatic SP on my trip to Vietnam later last 2024. I also never had an extensive experience with a DSLR except when I’m able to borrow my friends’ for short periods of time so I’m very excited to finally have my own camera!\n\nThe internal light meter on my spottie doesn’t work since I don’t have a battery for it, so I’m just using a light meter app on my phone. I also recently just learned Sunny 16 and tried to apply it on top of what I have. Most of the frames came out either underexposed or suuuuuper overexposed lol. I tried to do what I could in post. Rarely do I nail the exposure + focus.\n\nAs a beginner, I appreciate any critique or suggestions you may have based on these photos! These are the most decent ones out of the 4 rolls of film I used, therefore my most favorite. \n\nThe last frame was taken with a Kodak H35 with a Kodak Ultramax 400. I really liked that photo so I thought I’d throw it in the mix.","score":231,"nsfw":false,"grayscale":false,"timestamp":1735814050,"sprocket":false,"images":[{"resolution":"low","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/0c6f465f-c149-4a72-8759-3e3c295aa0c8.jpeg","width":576,"height":720},{"resolution":"medium","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/bb305852-98d2-4fac-94a7-f6b082fd6013.jpeg","width":864,"height":1080},{"resolution":"high","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/88c2ed6e-a8f4-4187-83d7-e9cc60335936.jpeg","width":1152,"height":1440},{"resolution":"raw","url":"https://d3i73ktnzbi69i.cloudfront.net/d0023af5-b900-4150-903f-c47c39f458c2.jpeg","width":1720,"height":2150}],"colors":[{"hex":"#11241e","css":"black","html":"black","percent":0.3859171},{"hex":"#f5f5f5","css":"whitesmoke","html":"white","percent":0.30424959},{"hex":"#3c4a31","css":"darkslategray","html":"gray","percent":0.18236152},{"hex":"#6d6737","css":"darkolivegreen","html":"olive","percent":0.10405628},{"hex":"#aeb6b8","css":"darkgray","html":"gray","percent":0.01512232}],"keywords":[{"word":"pentax","weight":0.33333333},{"word":"spotmatic","weight":0.33333333},{"word":"stocks","weight":0.33333333}]}
