Thank you!
The water shots were on a Nikon Action Touch. Fun waterproof point and shoot!

Excited to see if this thing really is the “prime killer”. Would’ve loved to have picked up the new MkII, but I got too good of a deal on this one.

Love seeing everyone in here shooting more film! Figured I’d add a few to the convo. Been on a 120 kick over the last year. Everything shot on a Mamiya c330. Keep burning the emulsion boys and girls!

Here are some of the film photos I took on my honeymoon. Would like to get any feedback anyone has. These are unedited scans. I haven’t even cropped them.

I know nothing about photography but can say those look fucking good
The first shot is the best of the bunch. The sun peeking over the edge🤌
What camera are you using? Seems like a couple of them you metered on the lightest point in the frame which caused darker areas to be underexposed. (On very bright days sometimes there’s nothing you can do.)
Especially when there is a lot of contrast it’s important to know how/where your camera meters so you can pick speed and aperture to expose it evenly. That took me a while to get used to when I started shooting film coming from a much smarter digital camera that could pick subjects out on its own.
thank you, it’s far and away my favorite, too.
Pentax k1000. The light meter is broken, so I am using one on my phone. It’s annoying. Do you have a specific example from my pictures for this?

Great stuff man, the girl on the bench photo is wonderful. mess with the crop on that to get rid of the tent on the left and it could be an epic photo.
Study the sunny16 rule. its great to have in your back pocket for when you dont have a light meter or need to make a decision quickly. Depending on the film stock I tend error on the side of over exposure as long as i can keep my shutter speed where i want it.
To @jsg_nado point the shadows are a little muddy, but literally not the end of the world, by no means does it hurt the photos. If you’re using a meter they can be center weighted or a very small spot that its reading. Since you’re using an app its going to be more like a matrix/total frame type of meter where it’s looking at all areas of the scene.
To my point above about sunny16, take that reading then maybe error on the side of a 1/3-1/2/.5 EV stop ish or 1 stop/EV over exposed if you can to nail the exposure. Some apps even like you show if you want to use a spot meter function or total metering. If you really wanna nerd out… dive into the zone system lol its slow, but once you understand it, you’ll nail exposure like its nothing!

So expanding on that and @jsg_nado point, if you can meter where the circle is, and not in the highlight, you’ll get a little more accurate of an exposure. Take your exposure reading then re compose if you’re in manual mode and your camera has a meter built in. If you’re in the app, find that middle grey/middle tone spot and find out what it says it’s a good reading for that, then fire away!
