Well, it didn’t take long, but I got a shoe-mount flash for the camera. The problem is, the new flash doesn’t work properly for it. It works perfectly for my Nikon Z5 mirrorless camera, but not the Pentax. It does fire… most of the time. I’m pretty sure the TTL (Through the Lens) metering doesn’t work with that flash, so exposure is all over the place.
Even though this is the third roll of film I shot, I didn’t process it until I got some sort of handle on developing. I didn’t want to screw up these pictures. This was another roll of Arista.EDU Ultra 400, developed in a 100:1 dilution of Rodinal with semi-stand agitation. This was also shot at box speed.
These are my mom’s new kittens, Ivy and Sage. They’re fast, which makes focusing a bit of a challenge. Every time I focus, they either move away or move forward. They’re fun. My grandmother is in the background.
Sage though she was clever by hiding under the pillow.
Batteries depleted. Need recharge. You may notice some white spots. I either got spots like this or lint on the negative, creating all sorts of havoc for the scanner. I shamelessly used my old copy of Photoshop to edit it out of most pictures. The lint is pretty straight forward to avoid, but I’m not quite sure what’s causing the spots.
I got quite a bit more pictures of the kittens on my Nikon Z5, so those should appear on the site sometime.
My grandmother’s Amazon parrot. He’s older than I am. The flash makes this a little blown out.
The picture from inside the cage is a little better.
A little random, but the table is set for Sunday supper.
