More pics with the cheap obsolete digital camera

Some photographers like to "pixel peep", as it's known among photography folk:  zoom in on the digital photos or the scans of their negatives, to obsess over the image quality (sharpness of focus, chromatic aberration, and the like).  In contrast, I'm primarily about the framing and the shapes -- and then about the colors.  I'm perfectly happy -- even prefer -- that my photos look like oil paintings rather than hyper-crisp photographs.

So -- here are some more photos with the Traveller DCM 8020.  They're all from a recent walk from the train station to the mechanic's, to pick up my car after work.  I was inspired to take my tiny digital camera, rather than a film camera.

As always, I intentionally put the camera on the lowest resolution, two stops darker exposure (it only has "auto exposure"), and maximum color saturation.  And as always, these exclude the tons of photos that weren't as good:  I tried a lot of angles, and most didn't work out.  ;)

(Ya gotta double-click to enlarge them:  they're not as nice when they're tiny.)  :)

 

 

Catch you next time.  :)

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.  :)
