Crappy Camera Sepia Saturday Photos

Today is #sepiasaturday, originated by @old-guy-photos. Thanks old-guy! This is fun.

For today's project I broke out my newest-and-so-far-most-fun crappy camera, the Sony Mavica MVC-FD75. I am growing to really like this camera, and I'll need to build a post for just it soon.

One of the "features" of this camera, like many cameras of the time had, was built-in effects such as black and white, inverse, and.. get ready for it... sepia! Yes, sepia format, right out of the camera. It had to be used today. All of these pictures are auto-sepia'd right from the camera. The only editing after the fact done was some de-noising with Movavi Photo Denoise.

For those unfamiliar, I am running my own personal project for #crappycameraphotos. This Sony camera is old, has a 0.4 megapixel sensor, and a maximum image resolution of 640x480. It saves it's images to a floppy disk! My goal is to use this camera to take good pictures; good photos with crappy cameras.

Today's photo's come from Greenbank Mill.

The big loom. This is a pretty impressive machine. They walked us through how wool is spun, woven, loomed, and ultimately turned into fabric. Pretty neat stuff!

A couple of big wheels that used to be part of powering the mill itself (hence the name Greenbank Mill). The mill used to grind wheat, but is now no longer in operation. They still raise sheep and weave though.

The old farmhouse, as seen from the mill building.

The old barn, as seen from the mill. The sheep weren't out today, but they do get out to graze in the pasture every now and then.

I've written about Greenbank Mill before and probably will again. It's in a neat area of the city and right across the street from another "living museum," the Wilmington and Western Rail Road.
