Very 1st film photo

All I can tell you was it was taken at
Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut (1985)
Taken with a Pentax k-1000 film camera

Who among us has never photographed a swan? Especially for a test shot. They are so beautiful and graceful, but we don't treasure them so much as they are commonly found. Very nice.

 

K1000 maybe,...? Anyway, nice swan shot, Rhonda. Do you still have the camera?

 

Yes, K1000. I do still have it, but it needs some work.

 

That was my first camera too. Looking back, I got some nice shots with it:

 

It is a good camera. Worth getting fixed.

 

Definitely. I'm impressed - I would have no clue where to look for my first film shot. Although I have a whole shelf of archive boxes of negatives (actually dated etc) I'm pretty sure it would pre-date them. I reckon it would have been taken with a waterproof Nikon that I used to carry in my motorcycle jacket pocket.

 

I had moved a couple years ago and had decided to go through my vast assemblage of photo albums. Deciding to scan the ones I wanted to keep, then divide the remainder to my children. I came across the album, I had set aside for my 1st year photos. It is good fun to look back and compare where I am today photographically.
