Challenge! A 'Lo-FI' A Day Challenge

[pictogramax]

This one reminded me why I dislike photographing with a phone Have I been using my camera, I would manually set the exposure, pre-focus where I want and fire away once a car was in the right place. Instead, it was much harder to get; my phone constantly wanted to brighten the exposure, and shutter kept lagging behind desired composition. Took me about dozen attempts to align everything the way I wanted.

I found another tiny door, and this one clearly states it's part of a project. I also finally dug up the batteries for the Pentax Q. A far superior camera with a tiny 12 mp 1/2.3 sensor. Isn't it amazing how different those bricks look?

Just for fun... a genuine lo-fi from the past. The date is genuine, I was just 19 years old and a bunch of us had gone to a place called The Rock (name of the town and the hill on which we were climbing).. I think I was already showing signs of being interested in landscape photography Kodak Instamatic 105, in use at the time. The ultimate in lo-fi for me

I haven’t posted for a couple of days...been occupied with a bit of a gear overhaul (of which more soon).
This is a DistressedFX edit of a recent “paths, tracks and roads” post.

Although it is still winter in Oregon, surveying the bathtub in my old house, I am realizing it may be time to begin Spring Cleaning. Peewee, however, seems to think things are just fine as they are. Close focusing with the Lomo Automat Instax is a never-ending adventure---

It's easy to forget, but trying to photograph in a dim interior with a tungsten lightbulb gives everything a warmth that my naked eyes did not initially perceive. The monochrome fisheye version is closer to what was in my mind's eye---

Wipe that grin off your face, Peewee: it's time to get out the soap and scrubbing brushes.

Went out for a little while in a state forest spot I know to target shoot a little and attempt to hone my very neglected skills.

Found an abandoned boot out there (unintentionally got my own boot in the pic, but I think it's more entertaining that way, so I picked this shot).

The rain came in towards the end, so I got a wee bit soaked packing up and getting back to the vehicle.

Day 15

I was dealing with an injured family member and all this wintry weather. While I was out shoveling, I only had my cell phone with me, so processed this image in “I like film” app and Snapseed.

With all the rain we have been having, the ponds are filling up again. Thank heavens. This is an old shot, edited in Hipsta.

This is a seriously cool Lo-fi image, Milan.
It's also just a great photograph, period.

In the very rear of my old house, just beyond the kitchen - where the house originally ended, when it was built in 1902 - a small addition was built onto the rear of the house, which was subsequently walled in and became a rear porch / utility space (later used for such modern newfangled inventions as washing machines or dryers). It's also a place for storing assorted heavy clothing and boots for inclement weather. I spend a lot of time either doing things in it, or moving through it, on my way out of the back door - or on my way back into the house. As one enters the back door from the outside, one sees another doorway - which was once the original rear door of the house - but is now an interior door, that opens into the kitchen. And next to it, I've tacked up one of my favorite posters ever - of an exhibiton of Mexican folk art featuring Calaveras, and other magical beings from el Reino de los Muertos, the Kingdom of the Dead.

I think I must have stopped, to stare at this poster, maybe a thousand times or more, and it continually surprises and delights me. But I don't think I've ever taken a picture of it, before today.

My Lomo Automat Instax take---

And the monochrome fisheye---

This is an image one of our kids took on a field trip about 20 years ago. I think it was from a Pentax 110 automatic film camera.
