Quality, not quantity

Another (kinda freaky, didn't expect the face to appear):

Campfires are one of my favorite subjects. That's a creepy face, I see fire faces too. This one looks like he's in a great deal of pain.

I am all about the fire.

I built this one in my backyard. We spend a lot of time here, esp as the temp cools.

Dang, Merc, that's sweet!
Kinda looks like it just needs a log cabin to be built around it now.

The first two are the regular shots. After that I got bored and started having fun with the picture. I loved the colors of the last one. Rainbow pictures are hard to take.

Lovely, but where's all the naked pagans?

I read on Boing Boing about a kind of neat idea. Taking digital pictures through the viewfinder of an old camera. I happened to have an old Kodak Duaflex camera that I bought at a yard sale about 30 years ago and have kept locked up in a trunk full of old "treasures." So I tried it out yesterday. It's harder than I expected. You need to be able to focus on the viewfinder from a certain distance and my Panasonic DMC-FZ7 can't do that. So I dug out my old Nikon Coolpix 950 with it's awesome macro capabilities and was able to get a decent shot.

It's fun, but I wouldn't say you make prize winning quality images. Just fun retro looking ones.

How is it that you and I wound up buying the exact same cameras? (I sold the 950 to Kitsune, for a project that apparently didn't pan out)

glatt · 09-21-2008, 02:26 PM

Well, actually, only the first one was a coincidence. I copied you on the second one. I was shopping for a camera and you posted about how great the Panasonic is. (And I happen to agree.)

Undertoad · 09-21-2008, 02:28 PM

Oh! Forgot about that. Anyway, nice!

Glatt! I can see your house from here!

Killer pics, tree fae, very cool.

Yeah -- it wouldn't eat memory cards big enough for time lapse (camera would enter a race condition, lock up, and overheat after 15-30 frames on a >512Mb card). The 950 still lives on, however. It is still on the shelf and being held for another idea since the wiring for remote trigger and external power supply are still good.
