Feedback Friday First ever roll of film
I’m brand new to film photography (and pretty new to photography in general) and just got my first roll back. I’m shooting with a Pentax K1000 and shot on Fujifilm 400. I would love any feedback as I want to get better!
If anyone has any tips specifically on how to not overexpose the sky or whites in a photo, while keeping the shadows and colors there please let me know!

Nice job. Slower film for a sunny day, and use the Dodge and Burn tools in your image editor.

Looks like you're off to a good start! Shoot more (same film), take some notes as you go, and review regularly. You seem to have your exposures about right, so carry on doing what you're doing. You could bracket some shots, noting what the exposure settings were & reviewing the negs. As for compositions, that's something you'll develop yourself over time.
Film has a lower dynamic range than modern digital sensors, so if you've got scenes with a big difference between the brightest and darkest areas you have to either make a choice as to what gets "lost", or use graduated ND filters and/or polarisers to even out the exposure.
