JennyW: Hello Everyone! Just checking in to see if anyone wants to get this group going again! Hope all is well where ever you live! 2024-08-14, 08:21:59

Oldiesmann: I'm not aware of any Jenny. Not sure why activity has died down on this site so much though 2023-06-12, 00:06:36

JennyW: Also, does anyone know other photo sharing sites that are Christian? 2023-05-16, 08:47:03

JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

Janet: Carol, I am just reading this.  So sorry for your loss, glad your beloved Don knew the Lord and you have the assurance of his eternity  and that you WILL see him again.  Much love to you.  Janet 2022-06-18, 08:49:36

Carol: Thankful:  Don is home from hospital.  I found him unconscious with head outside on the floor and the rest was in the shower.  At the same moment, one son was walking through the front door to visit.  Two fire trucks came racing in and they took over After 2021-12-29, 22:01:26

Very good. It's got lots of depth which makes it quite a dramatic scene.

I don't know the "technical" aspects of what makes this a good photo, but I like the reflection of the lights on the water.

I agree with Jeanne.  I like the reflections on the water...well done.

Nice indeed! Someday a want to do a grand night shot with water, bridge and buildings. Only I'm not sure if I would be comfortable with the idea being out like that at night ::), :-\... :)

When I started shooting, I'd go downtown at night, using an old Argus C3 "brick".    On the monopod, it made a formidable weapon, with sharp metal corners.   And it was sturdy enough that it could take out a mugger, and then take his picture as he lay on the ground.

That's why they are so cheap; they never really break, and even I can take one apart and fix it.



Still have it.   It can still take pictures.

You got me laughinf hav ing the camera as a protector....
I love the film style of shooting...I try to simulate with a plugin-I know its not the same as real film, but don't think I can afford to buy film, have develop, so it would be a novelty sort of thing to do..

That's a pretty cool looking camera, though! I purchased an Argus 40 for 10 bucks at the local flea market-got to try it once anyways... :) ;)

Thanks for sharing that photo of Argus!

Get old 120 rollfilm cameras.   The larger format means that even an indifferent lens gives you pretty good results.    And lots of places sell and process 120.

Or find one of these guys, if cost is an issue:


Half-frame, 72 exposures per roll.   And remarkably reliable and usable.    The shutter is actually more accurate than that of contemporary Leicas and Contaxes.

WE are getting a history lesson here.   Thank you Barbarian.


Jeanne Lee

Hey, Barbarian!  When did you take a picture of my Argus C3?   :D

Barbarian

You have a C3?   Take it out and get some shots.    Use 400 film, set the aperture (the little dial on the front of the lens that has two little posts sticking out) to about 11, and set eh shutter speed to about 400.

Then, in sunlight, you'll get pretty good results.   If it's cloudy, open the aperture to about 8.

It's fun using the old ones.

I used to get some pretty good pictures with that old C3.  Back then I had pretty well figured out about f-stops and shutter speeds and ISO settings.  But now I"m spoiled and depend on the digital P&S to figure it all out for me and I've forgotten most of it.  If I did decide to have another run at the C3 I don't know where I'd get the film developed now.
