Memory Lane
My first camera was a Kodak Retinette 1B bought in 1960.
The first slides - 1961 - now look terrible: colours rather strange, and images pretty soft.
But I had that camera into the late 1970s, and many of the photos in "Ruins" were taken with it.
I gave up on film cameras when I bought a Fuji MX 700 in 1998.
It had 1.2 mp, but it was the start of a new - and liberating - era!
The autumn woodland photo at [e] was taken with this camera, as was
this one: [f]
Earlier this year I was lucky enough to find a Panasonic LX2 on eBay, and so finally able to start using RAW mode.
The Levens Hall Gardens photos were all taken using RAW.
I use Camera RAW in Elements 7, rather than the software supplied by Panasonic.
