Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!Â
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper! Â
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Wowee! Now that is one cool model of a used-to-be-camera! I couldn't even imagine! What a fantastic composition of this, Andrea!

Great capture of a great camera!

I had a bigger version of this - film size 118. Used it until they stopped making that film size (late 50s) - had to get it from Kodak HQ in Kingsway. Still have a couple of negatives, but the camera's long gone; not sure where, unless my mother threw it out!

Fantastic !

This is in wonderful shape and definitely an antique since the model was manufactured from 1914 to 1917. I found one just now on eBay selling for about 50 pounds. Here is something from CameraPedia: "No.1 Autographic Kodak Jr. is a medium format film folding bed camera made by Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y., USA and produced between 1914-27 with quantity 800.000+ units. This camera is a rare model and offered many lens/shutter combinations. There are Special models of Autographic Jr. cameras with various lenses, shutters and/or improved features or superior finish." I have something very similar and will have to dig it out of the closet to see exactly what it is.

delightful, and the detail is very inviting! All that partly rubbed out lettering (carved in metal I assume), with the rust very clear, and the indentations in the casing, and the the mooring screws, etc. Very sweet capture, rich with age and beauty. (Great to see the old worn-out f-stops and the like.) With the old leather strap atop. Lovely, I love when you share old objects with us; you always capture them with love and care.

This goes beyond beautiful these remind us of eras long ago where photography was just getting started for the common man/woman

That is an oldie and a fantastic montage on the other side. I have not had the opportunity to ever use an old bellows camera!

To hell with standards sweetie. When something like this looks great hang the lighting technique, this is just so great to look at period. I love this old camera.

There is so much history behind what we do. Marvelous!

A nice example - particularly with the red bellows rather than the more common black ones. The name of the camera comes from the fact that you can write directly onto the film using the little flip-up window at the back and the metal scribe, or stylus that fits in the sleeve below it. I have a few like this in my museum of photography.

What a lovely old camera did you ever use it, I have a Kodak vest pocket camera that I used to use but it took a 127 size film and they are not available any more.

Not this one, it wasn't mine.
