Van Isle Sans Chroma

I only shot 2 rolls of black & white film on my vacation, and I was very displeased with how 90% of them came out. Since a small handful did come out good, I am assuming that it was my error in camera settings that caused most of the photos to look washed out and dull, and not the processing by Robi's Camera Shop. Of course I was also using my Pentax K-1000, which is about 23 years old and has shot probably close to 500-600 rolls of film in that time. Nah, it was my fault.

This is in Port Angeles, WA, near the ferry landing. Craigdarroch Castle.

Craigdarroch Castle. This is one of the few photos that I find acceptable.

Abandoned building, Victoria.

The Johnson Street Bridge opening to let a sailboat through. The side that's up the highest is the railroad tracks part and the other is for vehicle/pedestrian traffic.

No matter what I do, I cannot get my scanner to recognize sides of the photo that have sky in them. It keeps cutting off the sides of my photos, as seen here. There is more to the left side of the photograph.

French Beach Provincial Park.

Someone clearly built this fort out of beach logs and when I peered over the edge, it looked like the perfect place for a couple to enjoy a little oceanside shimmy-sham. wink wink nudge nudgeI couldn't tell if these logs were placed like this by people or if they were washed onto the beach like this.
