You needed a tripod , Close up lens much more and long exposure .. That photo was way under exposed and the wide open lens is only for portraits or single items up close. Landscape shots should be shot around F8 to F16 Or more to put more of the image into focus. I think if you did it again with those things in mind and with a tripod you would get much better results.
Right on! Love the grain and contrast that still hold up. Good onya for using these antique cameras. I am so happy there are folks like you out there. I love my old cameras and hope to get plenty of images out of them. 🎉 ❤
Honestly, your Shorts inspired me to pick up a 1939, Kodak Junior 620. 8.8 to 16 aperture, and 1/25, 1/75, B, and T shutter speeds. Excited to shoot some landscapes and architecture with it.
I just bought one very similar to this (though mine is from 1909). I was lucky enough to find one with 116 completely unexposed film in it. Wish me luck. Looks like it was expired since the 30s.
I found a Pocket Kodak 1A model c manufactured from 1906-1909 in a ghost town at an antique store in Michigan while on vacation. We almost didn't go into the shop. I got mine working even though it took 116 film. I actually found an original brown paper backed exposed roll of film in the camera. I am yet to have it developed. One store said they couldn't develop it because of the dimensions. I took my camera to new york and got some incredible photos of the statue of liberty, the empire state building and many more. They look like they are from 1910. I find it so cool that my camera was manufactured right around the time of Titanic. If only I could go back in time...
I wonder what solution did you use to develop the film, also what is that film scanning tool in your studio to remove the negatives? By the way, can I ask that if that camera is exposed long enough do you have to process it?
