well, imgur is doing its thing again and not taking my phone uploads, but rather than snow we spent the day at the lake with the puppies canoeing and grilling brats and walking the woods. Got a slight sunburn...

My Doberman does not take kindly to them being on the mowed lawn. As long as they stay in the brush or back past the treeline, no problem. She has learned that just walking to the edge of the porch and barking will move them back so she can resume her sun bathing.

Had some fun in the last couple of months. I snagged two of Dad's cameras after he passed and shot some photos. Real live film photos from a 1950s era Zeiss Camera:

They were shot a while ago. I just got around to getting the processing done.

 

[redneck joe]

they still make film?

[southkogs]

LOL ... crazy, but yes. Kodak even. And then ... even crazier ... there are places out there to have it processed.

 

[Scott Danforth]

whats crazier, there are people that collect old film cameras

 

[southkogs]

LOL ... these two now take the collection up to six.

a friend of mine has been the manager of Camera Corner in Madison for many decades. his camera collection is in the many rooms full.... going back in time to flash-powder cameras

I haven't shot film in years until these two rolls. Digital is just TOOO easy.

But Dad had all kinds of stuff. His Hasselblad was sold long ago, but there are some fun things like a Brownie Hawkeye, and Kodak 35 from the 40s I'm guessing and a couple of land cameras that I'm guessing are sold 'cuz I can't find 'em. I thought it'd be cool to shoot a couple of 5x7 or 8x10 film shots. I've got a few Minolta 35mm and a Yaschica-Mat 120 that I used for commercial work years ago. Now I've got Dad's Leica and Contessa to play with. If I can get the Leica figured out, I may start burning more film again.

Some of those older cameras are worth a ton of money these days. And the large film types took some very impressive shots, even when enlarged as well. Large format cameras are still worthy of competing with digital, even today...

 

[southkogs]

I know the Leica is valuable, even now. I haven't looked up the Contessa, but I would guess it's worth a little bit. Frankly, I think film capture is (at least in many cases) still superior to digital. BUT, the gap is closing.

There is something about large format black and white film though that is just stunning. Portraits from the 40s can really impress me with their clarity and depth.

 

[redneck joe]

i've got two old ones that haven't had film in them since I was a kid. They were my folks.

 

[redneck joe]

got the boys trained to lie down on a towel when they see it. When they come in wet it is nice
