Pretty rad, Colin, pretty rad.
Photography by Colin Wood
Perhaps the only good thing about waiting far too long to get 35mm film developed is that you end up almost entirely forgetting what’s on the rolls, making that moment when you do look at the developed photos that much more entertaining.
This time around, we were greeted by a handful of shots taken during the 2022 Grassroots Motorsports $2000 Challenge in black and white (specifically, Kentmere Pan 400 loaded into a Pentax K1000).
So, what does our annual low-buck festival of speed and ingenuity look like through the lens of a 30- to 40-year-old camera shooting black and white film? Wonder no more:
Pretty rad, Colin, pretty rad.
This is the post that will get me to finally pick up some film for my 35mm and start shooting film again.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Thanks. Not sure how much I enjoy shooting black and white, but I might not have found the right film yet.
In reply to ChrisTropea :
Do it. Peer pressure.
In reply to Colin Wood :
What film(s) did you use? I like your photos.
In reply to pres589 (djronnebaum) :
Kentmere Pan 400. I think it goes for less than $10 a roll.
In reply to Colin Wood :
I don't mind the overall look of that Kentmere film - I shot a fair bit of it years ago - but it has some odd color responses that make some shots look a little muddy. Try some filters and see if you're happier with the results. My go-tos are green and orange, but you need to experiment and see what works for you.
In reply to 02Pilot :
More color filters are definitely on my list of things to buy for my camera, and I'll admit that I'm still very much in the stage of dipping my toes into the world of film photography.
i wish i hadn't given away my K-1000 kit back in the day (1993). gave it to a family friend, a younger guy who loved photography but didn't have money for lenses etc. berkeleyer pawned it the next week.

What the duece is with everybody talking about K-1000's around here? I never thought you'd be out here following a fad.
(kidding, please know I'm kidding)
