Psychedelic

The only reason I took this picture is because I was trying to test the shutter of my Pentax MV at very high speeds. Typically, if they’re going to fail, it’s going to be around 1/1000 of a second or so. Being fully automatic, there’s no way to manually set this. So, the solution is to aim it at the brightest thing you can find and see if you get an image or not. In this case, the top of our lamp was the brighest thing to focus on. The image just came out very psychedelic looking on black and white film. Shoot photos, not each other!
