It was found in Lake Hubert, near Nisswa MN in 20 ft of water.

I will give him all of your suggestions...and you're right, I have never dealt with film. I surely would wreck it if I tried to open it. It has surely laid underwater at least 20 years, probably more. I like the idea of using the serial number to try to track the owner, I think it's worth a shot.

I'm sure he wants to keep the camera, but I think he would be willing to sent it to somebody if they were willing to open it up and try to develop the film. Am sure he would want it returned to him.

Thanks everyone! Your humor made me chuckle :)

I'll recheck that number...thanks! I hope we can find the owner.

A diving friend of mine found a camera at the bottom of a Minnesota lake in September of 2015. He brought it up and sealed it in a bag. The other day he asked if I might know anybody who could tell him what it is and how old it is. I'm uploading a couple photos I took hoping somebody here might be able to help us...I know some of you probably shot with one of these.

We were also wondering if the film would be recoverable. We didn't try to open the back, I wouldn't even know how, to tell the truth. It would be really cool if there were a way to look at the photos! I know it isn't likely, but thought we could give it a shot.

Thanks everyone! I'll take it all under consideration.

Call me crazy but I think I want to build a website and sell prints of my work. What site builder are you using and what do you like and dislike about it? I don't anticipate a lot of sales right away, so I want a site I can understand and one that will grow with me. Do I pay for a site or are the free ones all right? I want to print and send them out myself.

ANY advise would really be appreciated!

Cool old place. Did you go in the elevator? It's like stepping back in history.

Yes, I'm having fun learning Photoshop!

I will be spending June in Sturgis with my daughter and her family. Is there anybody, who is local, that would be willing to show me some of their favorite places to shoot. I am familiar with the area, but I would like very much to exchange ideas with another photographer. Or if you can't meet with me, please give me some suggestions for places to shoot the casual observer wouldn't think of photographing. I enjoy all types of photography. Love the hills out there.

I am an amateur shooting with a Nikon D7200.

Thank you, Robin

Thank you :) it was to promote a band, they call their type of music "shock rock." Wierd music but I like the costumes and theatrics.

Just wanted to share some results from my first photo shoot

Thanks for all the information, I will definitely take your suggestions. I can't wait to get there!

I will be visiting there in a couple weeks. Is there anybody who can give me some tips on where to photograph that aren't the typical 'tourist' locations? Unfortunately I only have a couple of days. The cemeteries intrigue me, is there a particularly unique one?
