thanks, Bruce. Took my camera and the above photo to North Plaza Camera (the only people I would ever trust with my camera) and they told me indeed the shutter was 'out of time'. They fixed it, cleaned it etc. The whole deal cost me 60 bucks total. Only problem is, now I have no excuse for taking bad photos.

nope, actually the only photos I had a problem with were the ones taken facing toward the lake/sun (what little there was that day)

 

No flash yet. Trying to learn the ins and outs of the camera before I attempt flash.

I have a pentax k-1000 camera and a big problem. Last week I went

down to the local lake shore to take some pix and experiment with my

camera. I have some photos that did not come out, and they were all

taken with the lake and the lowering sky in the background. Can

you send me in a direction that might help me? I've got the

book 'exposure'...and my major problem is that beyond a certain point

I don't understans.

 

thanks<div></div>

I own a Pentax K-1000 and replaced the original battery (twice)with

a brand new lithium battery. It has made no difference in the

indication of the light meter on the camera. I never really

bothered to find out much about my camera, but now I am interested

in really learning to take good photos. Is there something wrong

with my camera?

 

ALSO, can someone recommend a good basic photography book that would

walk me through like I knew absolutely nothing? I recently took

nearly a whole roll of photos at the Niagara Falls Butterfly

Conservatory, and none of them came out because the background was

too light...very disappointed, and vowing to do better.

 

Thank you for ANY information.
