I started taking pictures, when Kodachrome was still ASA (iso) 10. For those who don't know! it was 1950. My first camera, was a vintage 1938 Kodak Brownie six-16 folding bellows camera. It was called a pocket camera :) that was if your pocket was large enough to hold a brick, and two ham sandwiches.
Over the years I had many, in fact too many cameras to mention. SLR's, Rangefinders, Poloroids, and snapshot box cameras. All some type of roll film.

I never considered digital, until film began to get too high for me to justify using it. My first digital camera was in 2002, and was a Fuji A-101 a 1 mp camera with a fixed 35mm lens. My last 35mm was an Olympus OM-2, a real nice little jewel. Its gone now but still remembered, and not forgotten.

For me digital, will never replace film in my heart and memory. You can teach old dogs new tricks, but they never forget the old ones or let them die.

I didn't think digital was going to explode in the professional side of photography like it did. I was eager to learn digital, however, the learning curve has been a difficult and frustrating process. Years later, I still don't even have email figured out. Good thing my computer doesn't understand the words that come out of my mouth :)))

Sorry... I'm WAY too young to remember film cameras. I looked it up on Wikipedia, but I still don't understand how it works... something to do with putting a roll of some kind of plastic stuff in the back of the camera, where the LED screen is supposed to be, and then after 36 shots you had to take the roll of plastic out and send it off somewhere to have pictures make out of it. I mean... Holy Cow, you'd have to ask someone like Gessman if he remembers film cameras.


EXCUSE ME, what is this sending off crap??? I had the pressure of then processing it! :-) It does sound kinda crazy, doesn't it! And I am not THAT old!!!! :-)

Well, Mr. Gizzy, you are right, this could be a really fun thread! But I am still young, well, kinda, almost, well, feel young anyway! I am not sure I will EVER grow up! Thanks for sharing in this idea of mine!

Welcome to Ugly Hedgehog's very first Photography Contest. This will be a community run Bi-Monthly contest, open to all members of Ugly Hedgehog.

The rules will be relatively simple.
1. Entry to have been taken in the last month unless otherwise specified by the contest host (please do not go thru your achieves).
2. Theme will be picked by the Contest Host.
3. Contest will run for 2 weeks, after which the Contest Host will pick the winner.
4. You may enter up to 3 photos per contest.
5. The entry must be your own work.
6. Entries to be uploaded directly by entrants to the Contest Thread.
7. Contest Host will be determined by the previous Contest.
8. New rules may be added as the Bi-Monthly Contest grows and morphs.

I do hope that the Contest Hosts will provide feedback as to why they picked the entry that they did, but please remember this is for fun. I have volunteered to manage the contest overall, that does not mean I will judge entries (unless I am the Contest Host that week), or sway judging.

So with that, here is the first challenge:
Theme: Your City/Neighborhood
Due: October 30, 2011
Winner will be selected by: November 4th

Please post your entries in this thread for consideration.
Good Luck and get there and shot something!

OK, not to start any trouble or anything, but all I can think of is:
How did you all feel when the change happened from film to digital??
Honestly I was in college then for film and we all hated it. Took all of my classmates quite a while to even consider digital, an art form!!!! I had to re-think it as a separate art form... Then I was OK. We just need to understand art covers a lot of ground and each IS different than the other....... But all is worthy.....
Let's just enjoy the ride............. and look at each others art and appreciate it for what it is!

That's a good topic, Jeanhdl, for a new topic string (How did you all feel when the change happened from film to digital?) Problem is, how many people do you think will admit to remembering how it was way back in the film days? That was WAY back in the last century.

Yeah Frank, I was referring to Sudique, when she wrote about trying to take photo of herself on the beach with her tripod and new wireless remote.
It is right above my statement.

Annabelle, you would have been rolling on the beach laughing if you had seen me trying to do this. I'm too embarassed to tell you how many tries it took!

I had the camera on a tripod and was trying out my new wireless remote. Half the time I couldn't tell if the thing was working. I got a whole lot of pictures of myself checking to see if the bloody light was blinking! I had to go home and take a nap after this excursion!


That is hysterical, but totally can understand and I am sure I would do the same thing!

I hope I'm successful posting this. If you see the comment and no picture it's because I couldn't figure it out! :)

I love the 'Bean' (Cloud Gate) in Chicago. I took this photo when I first started taking pictures. I didn't own a tripod so I put my camera on top of my camera bag.


GREAT job! I have seen this "Bean" before, but your photo is much better than what I had seen!
