I'm holding my grandfather's No. 3-A Eastman Kodak Autographic Camera Model C camera which was produced in the early 1900's. It has a shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, & 1/100 and apertures from 7.1 to 45 and features a 170mm lens. I used a wireless intervalometer with a remote control to take the shot.
So well photographed! I think I have the same camera that was my grandfather's. I haven't forgotten you suggested I pursue a "challenge" to have people post their old and/or inherited cameras. I wonder if it would have a following, and I'd have to figure out how to compose it. Shall we try it together?
@theredcamera Thanks Ellen... I’d love to co-host a challenge and although I’ve never done one before I’ve read a lot of the ones posted. It could be old cameras, inherited cameras... we could limit to film cameras as opposed to digital or include digital ones too. We could encourage people to tell their stories about the cameras... where they came from... who used them... etc. Have you hosted before? What are your ideas?
@mittens thanks so much Marilyn... it was a fun shoot.
@ludwigsdiana thanks so much Diana... my dad gave me his Olympus rangefinder 35mm and a twin lens Zeiss Icon medium format camera and those are the cameras I began shooting with... somehow all of our family cameras came to me over the years and I haven’t been able to part with any of them. I have way too much stuff!
@kvphoto I'm so glad you're willing to co-sponser this, we'll learn together! I very much like your ideas, I don't know about limiting the posts, I'd love to hear about peoples first cameras maybe, too. "Collectables" and inherited ones will be, maybe the most interesting. I'll try to investigate how to go about it, post a question, contact the gurus I know. May take a few days....
