Royal BC Museum exhibit of old Kodak cameras.
Photo #1 ISO 1600 @ f 2.2 1/40th second
Photo #2 settings as above
Photo #3 ISO 2000 @ f 2 1/60th second
Maybe the cameras were around when the beast
in picture three was still roaming the earth lol!

It took me awhile to figure out the red sign in the first photo, but I finally remembered.
“If it isn’t an Eastman, it isn’t a Kodak.”
That does go back a few years.

I actually owned the box brownie film camera and the brownie 8mm movie camera
which you had to wind up. It had a big metal key on it’s side.

The Wooly looks mean. I assume it is dead.

Exactly right: If it isn’t Eastman…
The old Mammoth has expired and I remember seeing the same mangy
thing in the museum so many years ago as a kid!
Those old cameras are really something but the lighting in the museum
is so dim that the ISO had to be cranked a little (no flash photography allowed)
They are also featuring 100 of the worlds best photos 2012 – National Geographic
and they are spectacular but ABSOLUTELY NO photographs allowed in that exhibit.

thanks for the toadhollow address but I have a summer home in Bedrock across the street from Barny and Betty R.
They send their wishes for a prosperous 2.565 million bc – they’re really old and kind of losing it now.

All kidding aside – I live in Victoria, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island.
Surrounded by water just off the coast with a temperate (for the most part) climate.
Right now we’re in the rainy and windy season so not much to take outdoor pics of.
Looking forward to spring and some sunshine lol.
