This camera was responsible for almost every single shot taken of me as a child so when I found it in my Dad's house I decided to borrow it and give it a new lease of life. So it's quite a special little camera and - being full manual - I've a new found respect for the results my dad got out of it!
-----------------------
Today was not a good day for taking pictures, stupidly busy at work and the annual Nature competition at camera club meant little free time and I'd been lacking inspiration all day.

This shot may look simple but is more complex than it first appears and it has a number of elements. Lit from the right by my YN560-II @1/32 power through the softbox, I tried feathering the light so I didn't cause glaring brightness and blown highlights. The YN460 is pointed at the backdrop, almost imperceptibly so, but I now have no time - or energy - to reshoot it. Looked different on the back of the camera :(

Finally, a reflector held camera left added a specular highlight to the very edge of the old camera.
The camera itself was suspended off the floor on a lightstand. This is a composite of three images - the best of the right hand highlights, the best of the left hand, and one without the camera in shot to give the even backgronud and the appearance it's levitating in space. Wanted to try that specifically sometime, the technique is OK but with the bland background I don't think it's worked so well.

The text is an idea for a motif I have that I might try out in future.
