Cascadian Rainforest
This was my favorite image from a test roll on a camera I just got done repairing. Having sat for many years with little use, my film cameras are all in a unique state of disarray and needed some help getting back up and running. This one, a Pentax K1000, had a mirror that would get stuck up every few exposures making composition and focus impossible. After some digging around the interwebs I found the culprit to be a pair of gears that needed some oil, and after that it seems to be working great!
Not knowing how well it would perform in colder weather I took a digital camera along on this hike as well to have something to compare against. You can see the digital version here:
