Ditto on mine. Note it is also full frame from a box camera negative.

I'm so low tech I have no idea what you're talking about. I play the odds with my little digital point and shoot.... I take tons of pics and one or two here and there are decent.

Sorry to hear that.
The camera used in that shot is a box camera. Not digital, film. Box camera meaning throw away camera. Can't get much lower tech than that unless it was a pin hole camera and I left that one home.

Full frame means there is no cropping as evidenced by the films edge. Yes. Film.

"Well, mine was a pencil sketch that I coloured in with crayon when I got home!"
"A broken pencil?"
"I dream of having a broken pencil. I had to scratch the image on a plank of wood, using a rusty nail"
"A nail you say? Luxury! Why when I wer' a lad we'd use finger nails to create welts on our own skin to show outline of image. Then when we got home, we'd rub vinegar in welts to make 'em stand out, cover bumps in hot dust from the fire, then press the shape onto the cat that we'd shaved, before we coloured it in with cheese mould".

"Ah but you tell that to these fancy digital kids of today, and they won't believe you".
 
Grandpa said he had to walk seven miles to school everyday in his bare feet and it was up hill both ways.
 
3114: A picture of "the rock" to follow a guy holding a rock. Yeah, lame.

I think the comment related to 3111 being a throw back to 3109 rather than 3110, unless the mountains on the r/h side of 3110 were the inspiration for 3110's rock lifting pic?

I think any "flame" in a photo thread is lame. :huh

I just consider the "source" and move on.
 
3159: A friend grabbed my camera to take a shot of the car, instructing me to "stand there" to block some sun-off-of-the chrome reflections. I didn't pay attention to the fact I had the wide angle lens on the camera. I didn't expect to be in the shot.

Did you notice the spiderweb on the nose before you shot it and decided to leave it, or not notice it. I like it on it and wondered if that was a conscious decision?

Dashiprock...is that Sefton Park, Liverpool, or have you gone with the metal railings of height theme?
 
The visual definition of eerie.

There was a peculiar Welsh light on and around Lake Bala that day.

Getting into HDR?

I was dinking around with "fauxtoshop" HDR:

I never really liked the effect so I stopped...
