That looks so rad.

What’s more exciting than spending a day photographing old-school cars? What about photographing old-school cars with an equally old-school camera?
During a video shoot for some features coming soon to the Classic Motorsports YouTube channel (subscribe here now so you don’t miss out), we brought along our Pentax K1000 loaded with Kodak Gold 200 film.
How did the photos turn out? Here are the results so you can judge for yourself:
Thanks! I'm still getting pleasantly surprised at how well all my photos turn out.
I'm still in the early stages of experimenting with different film types (I just got my first roll of black and white film developed), but Gold 200 is my favorite so far.
Can someone explain what it is about the camera that makes them look like hot wheels in a diorama?
Epic pics btw
This Nikon article explains how aperture impacts depth of field.
Is Evanual9 talking about a depth of field aspect of the image or something else? I'm also not sure if that shot at the start of this thread was back-focused slightly or not.
I miss shooting film and developing my own negatives. Should be able to again soon though, finally, which helps.
I like the photos in the real thread/article. Gold 200 seems like a good compromise film considering contrast, saturation, color cast, and cost.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Thank you for that. I'm still wrapping my head around the settings.
Truth be told, I'm leaning pretty heavily on the Pentax's built-in light meter to take photos.
