Day Two Hundred One: Filter | Penetrate | Refine | Clarify
Today's prompt had us using filters - actual filters that you can put right on your lens. I did take this photo with a UV filter. My filter's purpose is to remove or absorb ultra violet rays, giving sharper contrast to a image. It helps to tone down direct sunlight. My subject for today's photo is something I am so excited about! My very best friend got these cameras for me at an auction that she worked at with her dad. She sent me a quick photo of a box as a tease, I guess, so I was extremely surprised and excited to find that there were three boxes of these antique cameras! I can't even image how these cameras worked in their time. I am a product of a generation that just has to push a button and I know that if I take a bad photo I can just recompose and push it again - I have a memory card that can hold 1000 photos so it's not such a concern if I make a mistake. These cameras actually ran out of film - so you had to be sure you had everything just right before pushing that shutter! And then to develop those photos! It must have been SO much fun! Talk about having to know how your equipment worked. I am going to spend some time researching these and learning about them. It's so interesting to see the differences in cameras from way back - the refinement of newer cameras have come a long way!

This is the second time I have taken on this challenge. I completed a 365 in 2014 - took 2015 off and decided that this year I wanted to do another challenge. I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I am kicking myself that I didn't do a challenge in 2015 so this is me getting back into doing something I enjoy so very much! Archives
