Is that June Lockhart doing that commercial?

The concept of having to buy a new bulb for every photo shot is pretty crazy in today's thinking. One step more advanced than flash powder. I remember 400 ISA film was pretty cutting edge, and then the concept of pushing the ISA in the 1970s and telling them to push the ISA in developing. And now using today's cameras, we have come a long way. I just posted a shot in Canon Photo Thursday, shooting with no flash and ISO 32000.

Here is a blast from the past. How it used to be. LINK

I think a red sunset eclipse would be awesome to shoot.

It was a clear morning and day right up until the eclipse. Once again these are the cards I was dealt from Southeastern Pennsylvania. Still consider myself lucky to have experienced this and pulled off about 500 shots.

It would be nice if lenses just had an old school manual aperture on the lens. Did we really need the camera to do this. OK, yes there are those automatic modes. My 5D MK IV shutter speed dial has gotten a little stiff, but it has a lot of miles, probably due for a good going over from Canon service center. I can't imagine how many shutter activations I must have, I got the camera around September of 2016. The camera has traveled from Florida to Alaska, Maine to San Diego to Washington and across 46 states, at least 8 or more trips across the USA, shot weddings... honestly this has been a great camera. I had the 6D, great camera too for what it is, though I thought some of the buttons felt kind of consumer level and not pro. But it sure took nice photos, even in lower light. I traveled through San Francisco and Colorado with the 6D, even shot some weddings and Bar Mitzvahs and captured beautiful images. I have seen videos of guys opening these cameras up and disassembling them to replace parts. Probably doable for someone trained with the right tools. I was an electronics repair tech back in the 1980's, but I wouldn't tackle it, this stuff is built by elves. lol.

Cool stuff.😎

I should order some solar eclipse glasses, less than $10 off Amazon. I think I saw Best Buy had some, and Lowes may be selling them according to the internet. What filter did you get? I have a couple ND filters, a 4 and an 8, not sure if it would be enough, I did get a shot back in 2017 through clouds with that set up. Guess I could Google best filters

The light over the table and the one behind me create a nice even soft light, barely a soft shadow on that table. i could shoot portraits in that room, no soft box needed, though a tripod and slower shutter speed would be needed to get the ISO down.. You should see the shots I get with the Galaxy s21 plus, I have many more as that camera is always in my pocket. lol.

I would think by now, the public would be used to celebrity's photos being manipulated. Models, movie stars...fake, fake, fake. Now it's a shocker. I think they could afford a good retouching photo editor. Wasn't AI or the hand would have 6 fingers.

I have seen photos of the old covered bridge and a painting., they were all covered at one time. That bridge has been replaced again in the last couple years. The farms are housing developments and a golf course. The Carlise Pike used to be a two lane country road between fields...I know Colonial Park too. I would go with my parents to the old Sears there. I had friends that lived around Union Deposit when I was going to HACC. That is the time I got my first Canon 35mm with a range finder focus. I grew up on the West Shore and moved to the Philly area about 40 years ago after my first two years of college. There are a lot of great photographic locations around the Susquehanna River Valley.

Small world. My brother has a house about a mile from there. I grew up in the general area. I don't know if I would trust the water for drinking today. The area is far more developed over the last 70 years. It's not the wooded farmland it once was. I took a bunch of photos there last week from the bridge. I will post some more.
