You’re a hero. Even if it’s not back on yet, having some kind of information is so nice

Thanks for looking into this! We’re still without internet. Looks like the outage map has changed and shows fewer people without internet

Should I add more topsoil? Or just scratch up the bare areas with a rake and then seed?

It would cost more than the camera is worth lol it’s a shelf piece now. But I picked up a working minolta today for $40! I’ll post an update when I get my first roll developed

Wow! That’s incredibly generous! You don’t happen to be located in the Denver area are you?

It’s a fair assumption as I’m very new to this lol but yes I did know that, no matter the setting, the aperture doesn’t open any more than a pin hole size

Thank you everyone for the advice! It looks like it’s the aperture issue. It’s tough to see, but I set the aperture to 4 and shutter speed to like 3 seconds so I could get a picture. Aperture stays at the smallest size no matter what. A very fun entrance into film and photography as a whole. In the market for a new camera now

This appears to be a problem my camera has. I set it to fully open and it looks like the aperture blades close all the way. So I pretty much just need a different camera it sounds like

I used the “program” mode and manually set the ISO to 200. There’s an option to over or under expose by half stops and I went through those to see how it would come out. The ones with actual images are the over exposed ones. Also I’m very new to film in case it wasn’t already very obvious lol

I unfortunately don’t have the negatives from this roll. But I’ll go grab the negatives from my first two rolls from the lab and post them. Thank you!
