2 free cameras!!

 I found 2 cameras in a box of free stuff outside someone's house 2 days ago on my walk. It has been raining a lot lately and those cameras were wet, but I thought I took them home to see if they worked. And they did! I ordered some new batteries for them and boy, I can't wait for the batteries to arrive so I can go take some photos with them!!! They are small Kodak cameras from 2004 and 2008. Really old! No wonder they got thrown out. I put some AA alkaline batteries in them, and they ate the batteries in just a few shots. I am out of batteries until the better one arrives next week. But here are the test shots straight out of the camera! First 4 photos are from the 2004 camera and the rest from the 2008 camera.

 look at the warm saturated colours! Yummy!

today on my walk

quite nice, isn't it?

Yeah I like it!

the horizontal lines on the image actually makes me think I can do a lot of fun stuff with the camera. This effect happens because the ISO was 1600. When newer camera sensors try to shoot in higher ISO, the images have more noise. But the sort of noise does not look anything like the "noise" here. This looks like a printer running out of ink. And I like it! 

here is another example. It is nice that the colours are so saturated.

 Our lemon tree shot through the window. The horizontal lines remind me of VHS videos. Photos taken in lower ISO don't have this problem. I took another shot in 200 ISO and it looks fine. CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY AROUND WITH THESE CAMERAS!!!
