Originally uploaded by C Joe V.
The best shot from my first roll of black and white film: Timi lighting the candles for a Passover seder. Kodak BW400CN film; Pentax-F 35-70mm zoom lens; Pentax SF1n, probably shutter priority at 1/60 sec. Scanned at home from a 4x6 print, sharpened (too much?) in Photoshop.
