...
Here, on the pulse of this fine day
You may have the courage
To look up and out and upon me, the
Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
No less to Midas than the mendicant.
No less to you now than the mastodon then.

Here, on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister’s eyes, and into
Your brother’s face, your country

And say simply
Very simply
With hope—
Good morning.

So here a proper #ShittyCameraChallenge / #CrappyCommieCameraParty contribution... to get me deported.

Samsung NX500 + Industar 61L/Z-MS

Guess why it's called indu-STAR!

So the #ShittyCameraChallenge was reborn as #CrappyCommieCameraParty from June 1st to August 31st.

Seems like @ShittyCameraChallenge lost his credentials and is only active on bsky, but we can party like it's 1991 on masto as well! (Anyway, every party member knows that Mastodon is communism and bsky is capitalism!)

Even if my only lens is the Industar / Индустар 61L/Z-MS produced in 1986, and shooting digital will get me sent to Siberia.

The #CrappyCommieCameraParty is a good opportunity to show that the Commies made also great lenses, even if some designs are ... well, "borrowed". Like this 35KP 120/2.8, which looks from the result like a Carl #Zeiss #Kipronar clone.

Here's another shot from the first roll through the Pho-Tak Traveler box camera. It shows some exposure variation on the left side of the frame. Is this shutter lag? If you have insights, please let me know in the comments. #photography #landscape #monochrome #BelieveInFilm #ShittyCameraChallenge #Connecticut #PhoTak

Here's another shot from my first roll with the Pho-Tak Traveler 120, a mid-twentieth-century fixed focus camera with an f 11 lens and a shutter speed of 1/50 second. I don't usually trouble people with photo equipment details, but this junk store camera is a no frills hoot. #photography #monochrome #wildlife #ShittyCameraChallenge #Connecticut #PhoTak

A young deer stares directly at the photographer. A second deer peers out from behind the first to stare at the photographer as well. A third deer stands behind the first two and leans its head over even further so as to see what's so interesting.

A friend gave me a mid-twentieth century Pho-Tak Traveler box camera, which I promptly loaded with film and took to my favorite beach. This deer passed by me in a small herd of young ones, so I took the shot. #photography #ShittyCameraChallenge #monochrome #wildlife #Connecticut #BelieveInFilm #PhoTak

A young deer is captured mid-stride. Because the camera tracked the deer in motion, the relatively slow shutter speed has given a blurred, painterly quality to the surrounding woodland.

A friend who had been using this 1950s junk store camera as a stash box gifted it to me. The Pho-Tak "Time" Traveler has a shutter speed of 1/50 of a second and an f stop of 11. The lens is a simple meniscus. I shot a roll of CineStill BWxx and a roll of CineStill 400D. If anything comes of it, I will let you know. #photography #ShittyCameraChallenge #PhoTak

A straight ahead monochrome picture of a mid 20th Century 120 format film box camera made by the Pho-Tak corporation of Chicago. The camera has a release that allows for self-timed exposures and therefore is labeled a "Time Traveler" instead of simply a "Traveler."

Gestern habe ich beschlossen, mir mal wieder meine 10-Euro Dimage 5 (siehe: hier) umzuhängen und ein paar Bilder damit zu machen.

Es ist so viel Gutes dabei rausgekommen, dass ich heute mal eine seltene Ausnahme mache und gleich mehrere Bilder zeige

Und wieder mal zeigt sich, 10 Euro genügen. Wenn der Tag so schön beginnt allemal.

Gave both sides of the QuickCam’s lens a bit of a clean, and that really seemed to help lower the levels of potato-ness.

But the filter in front of the sensor is a bit bleurgh too. But it's nighttime and these things never were great in low light.

It very definitely gives that 90s feel…

All in all, very pleased with this silly little arrival :D

It’s got cataracts that need clearing out, but the colour quickcam works with the 6200! Even in the QuickTime video conferencing program! AppleTalk video calls, here we come #MARCHintosh #ShittyCameraChallenge

I've been playing with a small thermal printer camera and the results are SO fun!

Two black and white photo prints:
The top is of a dog standing on a porch. She is missing a hind leg and is wearing a supportive harness vest.

The bottom photo is of a fluffy tortie cat sitting on a patrerned carpet next to a waterbowl and a cat bed.

The photos are made with a cheap thermal printer camera

@lxak ... Well, it might seem an odd suggestion, but the next #ShittyCameraChallenge will be the #CrappyCommieCameraParty, so there are lots of posts for (especially) Soviet glass coming up there. I've just picked up Industar 50 3,5 myself. So if you follow @ShittyCameraChallenge it may well for the basis of an informal starter pack.

Kitty enjoying the sun, shot on my 1998 Kodak DC290.

A large long-haired tortie cat sits and takes a bath by a screen door opening to a patio. Her ginger and dark brown hair glistens in the warm sunlight.
Next to her on the carpet is an orange fabric mouse toy keeping her company.
The photo was taken with a Kodak DC290 digital camera from 1998, which is why it kinda looks that way.
