Images - This And That

[Mad On Triumphs]

I can't get the hang of it. . Just being stupid, with 1600 photos and more on the way when I get back from Germany, I like this option

 

[Rocky]

1600 photos when you get back from Germany??????????????
I think I'll be on vacation that day...week

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

I think the camera would melt if I took that many pictures in Germany. Mind you, I have been known to go a bit Mad now and again with the camera

 

[DaveM]

Well roll on the photos from Germany as I am looking forward to them

 

[Rocky]

So do I. It's common for me to take hundreds of pictures when I'm on a trip.
I came back from Australia with 761
I love the digital camera technology

 

[CarlS]

I am looking forward to your Germany pics. And yes, digital photography is a Godsend.

 

[Rocky]

I started taking B & W pics with a humble Kodak Brownie camera with flash bulbs in the 50's - later moving up to better film cameras and colour prints and slides.
Back then, you had to be certain of your shots because you didn't want to waste film - or run out.
I was slow to move to a digital camera and they had been on the market a few years before I got one.
Once I got onto the digital technology I've never looked back.
It really boggles the mind that a tiny memory card can hold hundreds and hundreds of pics and video.

 

[DaveM]

This is why I just don't have any photo from way back as it was just so expensive. I would end up taking them but then not having the money to get the film developed

 

[CarlS]

Dave, you are right. It was a luxury I could not afford in my younger days.

Back then I didn't have much money and cameras and photos were a bit of a luxury so you had to be selective with your film and choice of shots.
I always made money available for developing and have a lot of family history in albums.
Even thought times were a bit tough back in the 30's and 40's, our families still had a bit of money for pictures.
I have a picture taken by my father of my mother with me in her arms as a tiny newborn.
It's over 76 years-old and still in excellent condition.
Now, I suppose you'll want to see it

Rocky ( Sorry Mental block there Rocky ), Funny you should mention that

 

[CarlS]

Yep, post it!

 

[Rocky]

Yep, post it!

I knew I should have kept my mouth shut

 

[CarlS]

 

[DaveM]

Well that will teach you for telling us about a photo

 

[Mad On Triumphs]

Here you are Rocky, just so you don't feel embarrassed, here's MOT in my high chair with my big brother

 

[Rocky]

OK, you asked for it.
I was probably about 4 months old and it looks like April since there are no leaves on the trees.
Looking at them now, these pictures are priceless.

My father and I. As you can see, we start 'em young with guns in Canada - but I think mine only shot corks

We also start 'em young on snow shoes in Canada!

 

[CarlS]

Cool photos, Rocky and Dave.

 

[DaveM]

Rocky I don't know how you survived as you do know that toy gun most likely had some type of led based material in it

 

[CarlS]

Plus guns are evil. Didn't you know that?
