No, it's quite real, not processed in. These falls, at the right time of day, produce a rainbow.



Slow shutter speed.

And yes, I'm too old to be doing this kind of thing.
You're not too old if you're doing it!
Slow shutter speed.
Oh, the memories...
 
I don't know about a lot.
But definitely photography.
Except he kept going and I stopped many years ago.

My first "serious camera:"
7891664378_261f7415d1_z.jpg

Built like a tank, and versatile as a jeep. I don't think I've ever seen a broken one. Cheap, but infallibly functional. On a wrist strap, it could be a formidable weapon when doing street photography in questionable neighborhoods; the square edges and a massive metal/bakelite body could do serious harm without damage to the camera.

Funny thing, although I'm in awe of my digital cameras and their capabilities, I don't really love them the way I love this one. I learned the basics on a meterless brick, and it will always have a fond place in my heart.

This was something like my first camera.

A poloroid from the 60's.
I wish I still had it.

I agree regarding the digital. It's not the same.
My first camera was a Minolta. Got two more after that but I loved that one the most. Let me see if I can find one...
Gosh. I just realized I don't even remember the model, but it looked kind of like this:

th


Had different lenses for it ranging from 50 to 400 mm. Including a fish eye.
Diffferent filters too.
I should have kept going. I forget a lot. Depth of field.
Oh well. Life happens.
 
Minolta was a good reliable camera. The only Minolta I've ever owned was the 110 SLR, an odd little thing that never really caught on.

Ah, the polaroid swinger. Popular because it was point and shoot, and instant prints. Sold a lot of those, but no film now available. One collector's resource has them valued at "5$ a truckload, delivered."

The acme of Polaroid cameras was the SX-70, with or without the sonar autofocus.

I have a couple of these. Although you can't get Polaroid film for them, the Impossible Project is selling (expensive and not too reliable) film that will work with them. I buy a pack every now and then, just to encourage the work. I really liked this one.
