my new photography / camera blog
Hi there tumblr followers! I wanted to share some really exciting news with you! I have created a vintage/toy/instant (all kinds of crazy!) camera blog where we discuss using old film cameras. I would really LOVE if you followed this blog by simply adding your email to the mailing list (it is all circled in red and everything!). This will send you an email whenever there is a new post to check out! I have been working like a mad woman on this and would really appreciate some love and support! Thanks!!! http://cameracrypt.com/
These are my first photos using my Polaroid Land Camera 100! They are definitely not perfect, but I will get better with time and practice! I found this camera really fun to use, but I think it will take a little time to get my exposures correct without first taking a test shot and then resetting the camera.
This camera was first introduced in 1963 and was produced until 1966. The camera features automatic exposure, folding bellows, and two separate viewfinders (one for focusing and one for composing). Although it has automatic exposure, you can darken or lighten the scene by rotating the outer edge of the lens. The camera is fully collapsable to protect all of its parts and it uses packfilm.
Also something interesting about my camera is that I converted it from its original battery (which are a little expensive, getting harder to find, and must be special ordered) to now using three AAAs which are readily available almost anywhere! Much more convenient!

I have a couple of new items in my store! I am selling 24x36 black and white posters from my “Birds” series. Check it out!
This is Nicholas and these are his senior portraits. I chose to share a few of my favorite images from my first ‘official’ photo shoot with a person. I am pretty happy with the result overall, but there is still much to learn!
I have been interested in photography for about 7 years, but most of the photos I like to take are very abstract. I love when people ask “What is that?” Recently I have had a fascination of sorts and have been learning about portrait photography. I am still very new to the idea and practice of adding people in my photos, but I think it is a very important step and one I am very excited about!
If you want to see more of the photos from the shoot visit my Facebook page.
