Old Cameras Never Die

ToyCamera.jpg, originally uploaded by david parmet.

I’m a photography snob. There, I’ve said it. I only gave up my black and white darkroom a few years ago. I’m finally convinced that digital might just be as good as silver and I’m just now starting to learn the joys of having a camera in my iPhone.

At the recommendation of fellow iPhotographer Dutch Doscher, I’ve been playing with Old Camera – a neat iPhone app that offers a wide range of black and white fixes to boring old camera phone pictures.

I’ve got to admit, I really like this but I’m still waiting for an iPhone app that can duplicate the look of Verichrome Pan.

I Shoot The Moon

the Moon

My first attempt at astrophotography.

Basically I attach my D80 to the back of an LX200 using a special adapter and *presto* the telescope becomes a super telephoto with a 2500 mm focal length. This is actually three images combined into one so I could get the whole of the Moon into one frame.

I’ll put up a cleaner version tomorrow.
