Bigger Than A Brownie

Circa 1800's. I shot this with my iphone last weekend at a museum in Orange County. Almost didn't get it in the frame. Guess it's sitting on one of the first tripods.

Wow, how they ever made a shot with one of those, is almost beyond comprehension. Nice shot though.

@rickster549 I know! This camera was massive! The camera alone was about 2 feet tall!

A super find and capture. Just a bit too big to carry around 😀

[Janiskay]

Wonderful capture. Not very portable was it?

[Call me Joe]

Great find- u need a special back pack for this :)!

The the way the light is hitting it, the background and whatever it is sitting on gives this an oil painting look. Fav!

Very interesting subject, great colour, texture and processing.

Such a wonderful artifact!! Would be great to find some of these at garage/estate sales, and scatter them around the house!

Oh how fun to see these old cameras. We've come a long way!
