Right out of the camera (5 years and 2439 days ago)
Moderator says:
Great photo, but not a close-up, also I think by 'traditional medium' you are expected to have something that can actually be used.

A fill in flash would have done wonders here.
author says:
I tried messing around with the exp. compensation and flash, using an external light, etc. with my point and shoot and didn't have much luck.

Quite a collection, are they all yours?
author says:
Yes, they are. Actually, this is only part of my collection. Most of them were passed down from a great uncle to my father, who then passed them down to me.

Nice Shot...wonder if that is a Karl Zeiss lens used by Sony today
Wayne Cheah says:
I don't think the present digital generation realise the sheer joy of fiddling with all the controls, and the pride and satisfaction you get when you got it right --- after the print comes back from the lab a week later.
author says:
I agree. I used to love working in the darkroom! It was my favorite part of the process.
Juniper says:
That's a lot of other cameras
BeSea says:
Nowadays the computer IS the darkroom. I get as much pleasure from tweaking my photos as I do from taking them. You don't need a whole room full of chemicals and the results are just as rewarding. Maybe more, with the great improvements of camera technology and computer software. Those who disdain the computer steps are the same as those who would be happy with a polaroid picture or don't know how to use the software. Just a vent to those who wish that they were still taking rolls of film to be processed somewhere in the near future.
BeSea says:
PS: Great collection of old cameras.
author says:
Thanks. And I do agree that the computer is today's darkroom and I too, get just as much joy from processing as I do taking the photos. However, I did very much enjoy the darkroom. But when a darkroom wasn't available, I didn't like handing over my work to someone else to develop. They never got it the way I wanted it. But now I have all the control!!!

Nice idea.
I'm not sure why people are proud of the "right out of the camera" photos when today's darkroom (that is the software) can nearly always improve and enhance any shot. Otherwise you get what the camera thinks you wanted. Not saying that it isn't good, but I don't understand the point of the comment.
Sorry, i put that comment because the previous entry was rejected because i just boosted the contrast(the same photo) so i assumed that is how it works around here, hence the comment.
I am very surprised that just a contrast alteration would have resulted in this photo being rejected, unless the adjustment was extreme. Contrast adjustments are permitted. Here are the guidelines for what is allowed in photography http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/photography/
Now that I understand the reason for your comment, I hope that you didn't take offense with my rant about "straight out of the camera" people. It's one of my pet peeves. Everybody here is mostly friendly and supportive!(me too!)
I really do like your photo and welcome to the site.
No not at all, i didnt take any offense. I just wanted people to know the reason behind the comment and Thankyou
Just nice idea, looks like a ballerina skirt. Great idea. GL
Thank you
Photo was originally rejected because it had a watermark, which is against our rules. Author was invited to fix that and resubmit, which he did.
