Wide Open Daily: Day 60

in photography •  6 years ago 

Today I wasn't feeling up for walking around searching for something interesting to photograph so I remembered that we had this cool old video camera that belonged to @melodyrussell's dad!!!

I had never heard of this brand until melody brought this home from her mom's a few months ago but I guess the revere company was acquired by 3M and only made camera's up until 1970.

One of these days i'll have to clean out the battery terminals and find some super 8 film and see if this thing still works... Unfortunately the batteries were left in it for the better part of 3 decades (at least) so I guess i'll find out!!

What is Wide Open Daily you ask?

Well..... I've grown tired of trying to come up with something new for the weekly #colorchallenge and many of the other photography prompts I have used here on Steemit over the last year and decided it's time to just do my own thing!

Sooooo....I'm going to challenge myself to take at least one new photo everyday with my Sigma Art 50mm wide open at f/1.4!! I freeking love this lens and the super narrow depth of field it creates when used wide open!

Thanks for checkin' it out!!

Clean it up and shoot something - upload it to dtube!!! Chop chop! Lol - but really though that's a wicked piece of tech history you got there. Hope all is well my dude !!
