Kodak Gold 200 in a Small Town with Pentax K1000 Photowalk and Film Camera Settings Explained

I blew the dust off my Pentax K1000, loaded a roll of Kodak Gold 200, and headed to a small town southwest of Indianapolis named Brooklyn, where I used a roll of 24 exposures. Nothing too exciting, but I did have a chance to shoot a couple of people who were business owners in the small town, along with their buggy, and a couple shots of the town hall and library. I'm hoping these will have a nostalgic feel to them, but never know until you get the negatives/scans back.

K1000 is my favourite camera. I bought a used one in 1996. It was made in 1978. I used it professionally for motorsports shootings, interviews, travel shots etc. I regret for selling it. Very nice video. Thanks for sharing 😇

I really appreciate the fact that you tell us the aperture and the shutter speed. It is great help for beginners!

[@DozierGraphic]

Glad to hear that! Thanks! But keep in mind, basically when it comes to the K1000, I'm just going by what the built-in light meter is telling me. I'm terrible at guessing lol

Hi Jason, the Pentax K1000 is one of the best mechanical cameras. I still use it regularly next to my Minolta X500. Keep on shooting.

Thanks Marcel! Love my K1000!

My first camera was a K1000, waaaay back in the 80s, probably the best camera to learn the basics.

[@DozierGraphic]

I've used many film cameras, and always come back to the comfort of the K1000!

@@DozierGraphic Indeed, it was a loyal old friend that never let you down.

These shots look nice, I personally love the way gold looks. When metering for the bright outdoor scenes sunny 16 can help.

[@DozierGraphic]

Totally agree!

[@acecreates]

Love both the k1000 and kodak gold! Great video mate.. cheers for sharing!

[@DozierGraphic]

Thanks for watching! I'm planning to get back out quite a bit with the K1000 this spring!

I also got mine back in the 1980's. I just Recently tucked it out of the closet Put a new battery in it and I'm having fun with it again I feel like a kid again. Still works great. Hard to kill them. Good job with the video. Keep having fun.

[@DozierGraphic]

Thanks! More Pentax K1000 videos coming in the next month.

[@anthonyocarroll5630]

Can I ask what battery type

[@duanemcclun]

I enjoyed the video because it brought back memories for me. I one of the first cameras I used was the K1000. Best wishes Duane

[@DozierGraphic]

Awesome camera Duane! I'm finding a lot more enjoyment in film these days!

[@izaksosa93]

I got just a Pentax K1000! I was wondering what other films would you recommend to use ?

[@DozierGraphic]

I typically just stick with Kodak 200 for color film because it's the easiest and cheapest for 'learning and experimenting.'

[@matthewgarcia4166]

How did you digitize your film? I’m getting into film photography and just curious how you personally went about making it digital

[@DozierGraphic]

I've used both DSLR method, and an epson v600 scanner. The scanner is easier for me, even if not the 'best' results.
