Hello Everyone,
Photography is a part of me, a burning passion from all time. My granfather liked photography too. He shared with me some tips and techniques when i was young. During that period, digital camera didn't exist yet. Argentic was the standard in photography.
It was crucial to take good pictures because the development and film were expensive.
Nowadays, with the digital cameras, we tend to take lots of pictures without worring to have a good framing, exposure... except people who really love photography and want to have beautiful pictures without too much post-processing and retouching. Every week, we loved to watch his slides with the slide projector from the pictures he took during his holidays with my grandmother. He was a traveller and he was my mentor for so many things, photography, computers and more. He was a real example for me. I miss him very much.
My Grandfather gave me several cameras he used in the past, a priceless heritage that i cherish very much.
Yashica Fx-3 camera from Japan - 1979
IFOCO 135mm Lens
Wide-angle 35 mm Lens
Krasnogorsk Zenith-E camera from URSS - 1967
Nikon D40X + 18-200 mm VR Lens
This is the camera i use right now. Very great reflex camera with a polyvalent lens.
oh this bring me memories :')
hehe
Those were the days. I used to make many pictures on film. My parents made thousands of slides. A few times per year we watched them on the big screen. That were priceless moments!
Hehe, yes, completely, same feeling shared
Once upon a time in a land far away, I had a Nikon like that. These days, I won't lie, while I miss the photograph process... I do like the digital picture convenience. :) Great pictures though and thanks for the memories, sir!
Thank you ,-)
My God, my God, Yashica! We had a joke at home with this camera because of the name. Thank you for the memories!
