After last night’s foray into beer photography, tonight I returned to my father-in-law’s Minolta camera. I’ve been looking for a nice way to capture it. Most of the images I’ve made of it have been rather flat, and not very exciting. After all, it is “just” an old camera.
While I was setting up, though, I happened to walk around the camera, and finally saw the image I’d been looking for. The angle-on view, as well as elevating my Canon above the Minolta, really spoke to me, and I snapped a few images.
I returned to my father-in-law’s old Minolta tonight. A little angling, and presto!
I made this image with my Canon 7D and Canon 100/2.8 macro lens, and finished it up in Lightroom 2.
Once again, I’ve missed a few days on my Project 365. Tonight, I return to a favorite subject — my father-in-law’s old Minolta film camera. This camera is a treasure trove of fun images. Tonight, I elected to focus on a simple front-on image of the lens. I love the gearing and the mechanical feel of this camera’s appearance.
