Talk about camera hardware, photographic technique, or just share photos of your own.

I'll begin.

I adore photos with water reflections. That one also has neat symmetry.

Recently I got hold of some old family negatives and set about digitizing them. I found a lot of photos I had never seen before.

This one is me with my Dad at the marina sometime in the early 1990's, it was taken with my Mother's old 110. Negative is a bit beaten up. Interestingly, my Dad has his old Halina AF in his hand which is the exact same camera I use now.

This one is from Cyprus in the early 1990's, I was very young at the time and only remember a few things about being there.

This is also from Cyprus.

I'll be attempting to develop my own film soon, because I have a pile of 110 film that never got developed and nowhere around here does that anymore. Afterwards I will be ditching my Halina AF in favor of my Pentax Auto 110 as I prefer the 110 format to 135. Though I'll probably be largely black and white from then on as it's not easy to get color film for 110 now as nobody makes it and when they do it's the wrong speed - the Pentax takes ASA100 and ASA400, only ASA200 is available.

I'll share my results when I've developed some film though, even if they're awful.Meanwhile, have a couple of photos from when I briefly went digital with a no-name Chinese camera - obviously it wasn't a very good camera and I didn't have a tripod to hand.

These buildings are being demolished to make way for pointless wind tubines... We have plenty of good unused land that would be good for nuclear power but evidently actually having electricity isn't on the agenda.

Awesome! One of the best things with my Pentax is the close-up lens as I always wanted one.

You ever seen how those spitting spiders catch stuff? It's pretty cool.

Beach sunset in Connemara, Galway, Ireland. Taken with some digital camera I had at the time. Stairway to the sun.

Everyone rather they are white, Asian, Black, others has to right to live w/e they want as long they don't break the laws.
Is not about generalizing people. Not all people are on welfare or others.
I saw more white than blacks where I was.. Syracuse has some structural issues while good roads, Montreal is the other way around, bad roads but good structural.
There are SOME white too on welfare not just blacks.
There are people on Welfare rather they are white, Asian, Black, etc.

Going there wasn't about seeing people, was about seeing the fossa.
If the fossa was in closer place than Syracuse rather is USA or not. I would go there.
I don't care by the look of the place.
Rather is conservative or liberal dominating, I would still go.

I went to that place to see the fossa because;
1 Canada has no zoos with fossas except in BC Langley which is over 4,867 km from me and would take 42-44hrs depending on traffic.
2 Travelling over 4.8K km would take a long time, would cost a lot etc.
Then I found a closer Zoo, was San Antonio,Texas, that was still far but a lot closer compare to BC Langley. was 3,237 km
Then I found a Zoo in Ohio, then in Bronx.

Recently Syracuse got some, was extremely close. Around 430s KM.
So I bought a passport and went there. Took around 4:40 hrs

Going to Syracuse was surprisely cheap, didn't cost me 300$
I invited family so we payed equally.
And went by car.

I found an old black and white photo of my mom and her younger sister that was taken back in the early 1950's. I decided to give a try at colorizing it while attempting to keep the older look.
