Pentax and Portra

My brother and sister-in-law recently bequeathed me two of their film cameras. I took the Pentax K1000 out for a spin with a roll of Kodak Portra 400.

These were shot at work on a rainy day.

Some of you will recognize this hydrant. I have featured it before.

Second roll of Portra 400

I’m still having issues with camera leak, so it looks like I really need to take the camera in for service.

This roll went to Buddy

Kodak Portra 400.  It loved Buddy. From what I’ve read Portra makes for great skin tones, and obviously, when one’s subjects are all furry, that’s hard to see. I’ve got another roll of this in my camera right now.

These are the “regular” 72 dpi scans I received from The Darkroom which are fine for the web, but not for printing. When I receive the negatives, I will scan some of my favorites.
