I Got a Pony!

[cat_77]

Was thinking about old art-like project-like things and started looking for old working film-based cameras a few weeks back. A place on Etsy had some and I ended up buying myself an old 1953 Pony 135 Model C. For really damn cheap

Oh, cool photos! That path one is very evocative in particular.

You can't quite see it in the shrunken version, but the buds of the willow tree look really cool - all sharp against the slight blur of the foreground and background. In digital photos, like 90+% of the image is super sharp as the tech can focus on so much more. Seeing these, with clear fore-, middle-, and backgrounds reminds me of all the techniques and descriptions my teacher used to go on about way back when.

I kinda like how it is naturally giving some effects that people have to manipulate to get to now, and even sort of like the yellow tone that ages the picture, even if it was only taken a few days ago.
