Description A guy on the train. I spent a lot of time riding transit.

Those headphones are identical to the ones I landed on skiing, except his work.

First of a few nice shots from my first roll of film.

Pentax ME, SMC Pentax-M 50mm f/1.7 lens, Kodak BW400CN film, levels in Photoshop. 400 ASA is way too fast.

The combination of the light and dark tones are so beautiful and focus is simply awesome, got to love the 50mm.
Haha, good thing he didn't hear you clicking away with his headphones and music on.
Transit takes over most my days as well

It's an old manual 35mm that belonged to my father. It spent years collecting dust in a closet so once I started experimenting with photography he said I could have it. It's a great little camera, very sturdy and reliable.

Dagorath [2007-04-02 03:01:28 +0000 UTC]

I suggest ASA200, most of the time, and some grain reduction. This is a great shot - the blurred light on the left is especially good.

I've been using Ilford Delta 100, but my mom got me three rolls of the Kodak stuff for my birthday, and free film is free film.

I love my 50mm lens; it's extremely wide f/stop is what allows the difference in focus.

Great focus changes here.
I love your black and whites, they are always so full of depth and expression.
