Lo-res photos - Traveller DCM 8020

In addition to old-timey cameras, I've also been shooting a lot with an "old technology" digital camera:  it's from about 2003 -- and then I set the resolution to the fewest pixels and worst clarity.

 

Can't adjust the shutter speed or aperture.  Have to trust the auto-focus.

But -- I like the effect.  Here are some of the better ones (click to enlarge).  Note that none of these have been adjusted by any photo-editing software:  it's just how it came off the (256 MB!) SD card.  :)

Third batch - vintage photos

 This is from another 1943-ish camera -- but it takes 35mm film, not "120".  Also, it lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture.

Some of the better ones:

Second batch -- from 1943-ish camera

 This one and the Box Brownie both shoot "120" format film.  Feel free to Google that.

This camera has a focus where you just estimate the distance and turn the lens to match (e.g. "10 feet"); a single shutter speed; and your choice of two different apertures (the size of the hole that lets in the light).

Some of the better shots:

 

Me at the British Columbia logging camp, 1938

Photos from my first Kodak Box Brownie camera

Some results of my first foray into old-timey photography.

Not surprisingly, the lens defines the "look" and the perceived era:  these look kind of 1910-ish -- whereas the photos shot on a WW2-era camera look like they're from WW2.



Two from my church.

And

 

This one is of a garden bed -- you can kind of see a car in the background:  call this one "artistic".

The rest of them have people I know in the photo, so I'm not going to share it here.

But, you get the idea.  :)

Log art

I liked this.

On front porch near where I park my car every morning.

Possible tribal tattoo

The Girl has an owie on her arm.  Similar to "signing a cast", I drew a design on her band-aid.

It would make a good tribal-style tattoo.

Good quote about art

From the "making of" documentary for Twelve Monkeys (Bruce Willis): 

One of the guys (the film editor?) had a t-shirt that said:  "Art is:  working on something 'til you like it -- then leaving it that way."

Good ship

A photo of my 6 y.o. daughter's drawing, from May 10th.

I really liked her representation of ocean waves.

Drawing of a ship

The Girl drew this picture of a ship on May 10th.

I particularly like the way she drew the water -- it really looks like storm-tossed waves. Whereas my "waves" are too literal: I just to the curvey zig-zags (you know what I mean).
