Retro camera picture pool

Today a workmate and I started a picture pool at Fotosidan.se for pictures taken by cameras manufactured before 1960. I have a few retro cameras and here is a picture shot with a Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/16 (manufactured approx. 1950) showing a pavillion at Kina castle at Drottningholm, Stockholm. We live almost next door to the Royal family =)

Walk on water

Jesus walked on water. For us northerners it doesn't seem strange. We do it - every Winter.





Try again - in Summer

Lift-off

Hi, I'm Thomas

This is my first blog @ blogspot. It will be very irregular and mostly in English. I like photography and have more cameras than I need. I am not a collector though. I actually use all of my cameras. For fun and to maintain the skills from past days. My first picture ever taken was on a school trip in Spring 1964. Thousands of pictures have been shot since then and more are developing every day. Here is one of my first shots. I used daddys old Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/16. It was a sunny day and he set the cameras aperture, shutter time and distance infinity before I left for my first photographing venture.
