Shopping!

Today we decided to see if we could sell some of my old camera equipment. One camera is a very nice Horseman 4x5 LS and the other is a medium format Contax. These are both film cameras. And big film cameras. Since all my surgeries it is very hard to handle these cameras, and they have been sitting in the closet for years. Of course film cameras are now basically obsolete, with a few diehards out there. I though I would be a diehard, but I much rather shoot with digital. I found a very compact digital camera that I really like, and I don't get tired carrying it around! So, a very nice camera shop said they would trade my big bulky cameras for this new camera plus 2 nice lenses! We did it! I love my new camera and am glad that someone will get to appreciate my film cameras, as they were once top of the line and are amazing cameras. I think it was a fair deal, the camera store probably made out a bit better than us, but truthfully, why have something you don't use sitting in your closet? Yeah, we only got a portion of the money we spent on the cameras, but we also got a camera that I am going to have much more fun using. I am so excited to start taking pictures of the chickens! Ok, and the other animals and all the beatiful scenery we have around here. This is one of the first pictures with my new camera. We were hungry! The lense is a 20 mm F1.7.
