The Old Work Horse

My first digital goes to antiquities, he hasn't retired, no sir! Heworked five years and he's able to work at least ten more with thesame battery, but I just wanted to emphasize the fast growth of thedigital technology and express my gratitude and respect to the camerawhich made me do a lot of artworks!

The photo was taken with a smallunknown relatively new camera which costs $69 only! The blending oflayers hides the real quality of the picture which is razor sharp andlarge ten Mp!

Thank you for your attention dear colleagues!

la técnica que utilizas para estas fotos de antaño es interesante, el hecho de crear las condiciones necesarias para resaltar los objetos es excelente. Saludes..!

Fair and square like his owner's' comments!

Beautiful creative work again, Pierre!

With best regards,

Ruud.

 

 

You definitely succeeded in showing us just how fast technology moves!  The camera looks like it is straight out of the 1920's, ha-ha!  Great post treatment.

Good work as always.

Kind regards,

hi gjenerale

What a striking commentary on planned obsolescence!  It's wonderful to buy a product only to find out shortly thereafter that it's been replaced by a newer product. 

The texture is perfect for this photograph.  Great angle.

My best - always,

michael

nice work

Pierre,

   Beautiful creative image with wonderful processing.  Take care, Patsy

Technology in our days evolve fast and rapidly. Five years old electronic products become absolute after 5-6 years. After 10 years it already dinosaurs age. Perfect match with particular work!

 

such a new camera looking old ;)

Excellent work !! A fitting memoire !

Warm Regards,

Again interesting a work.. My horse is older than yours.. Canon PowerShot A50.. 1.2 MP.. :-)) My firts digital camera.. Still working.. Regards, dear friend.. 

When I seen the title "The Old Work Horse" I was expecting a self portrait : - ) lol Just kiddin

Technology moves at an ever increasing pace, todays technology was yesterdays science fiction, but some things don't get better, and sometimes quality suffers in the rush to produce "the new improved version"

I love the treatment you have applied here Pierre it adds to the aged look that in turn provokes thought about our consumer mad world.

Best Regards

Hi Pierre,

This is so cool. I am a SONY man myself. I love the texture you created. By the way, thanks for your comments on my pictures. I really appreciate them.

Take care,

Jose Luis

Creative combination! and magnificent pp - congrats!

i think you are too protective of it, though.  to me, it sits on top of the paper instead of seeming to have been aged with the paper.  i would leave  more paper texture.  still fantastic, though.  i love the window for the optical viewfinder.  those are rare now.  best, jamie

come tu sai la macchina è solo un mezzo per comunicare,

l'importante è chi l'adopera,e come lo fa ! complimenti bella storia la tua !

saluti paul

My good friend Pierre,

You know that posting any image of your camera and lens is going to drive me crazy ! I love all photo gear, but the older , real work horses get my utmost respect.

Great posting with your HP CA350 camera.

The nostalgia factor rating is a TEN !

Warmest Regards,  Uncle Mike

If somebody doesn't have an interest in photography and look to this photo, he will say it belongs to the fist era of camera manufacturing.

Your post processing really reflect what you want to say.

 

Hi Pierre,

Very creative and beautiful work.  Thanks for sharing.

Excellent job.  Best Regards,

Clever and beautiful!!

Great post-processing. Your layer work is art on it's own. And, as a Sony fan, great subject choice! Thanks for sharing.

Another great work ,best regards .
