35mm Photos

I'm playing myself also with older camera-models: a rangefinder-camera for example. With black-and-white film and also started developing these films.
It's kind of very interesting to do more work on my-self (setting manual the shutter-speed, the aperture) instead of letting it all be done by these tricky machines today, cause then I can't blame the camera for any mistake. ;]
In any event, these are eucalyptus trees on the side?

Yes, it was taken just outside of Sydney on the Bells Line of Road.
Haven't started developing them yet. I was looking at the Lomography phenomenon and realised it was a gigantic rip off when I could get six or seven better old German and Japanese cameras for the price of a Russian Lomo LC-A.

Your cameras are female?
How can you tell? Is the tripod connector different? I'm sure you wouldn't be objectifying females by equating them with inanimate objects, so I'm really interested in finding out how you can tell!

INANIMATE OBJECTS????????
Mein Gott........these have a soul!
And because they bring out the creative principle.....they are clearly female in their form. :P
Absolutely! :D
In German the word camera ("die Kamera") is a female.
And my two (infantile) other cents:
You put something in the camera, the "frame" you see, and you get something out… the picture, for example in a very fast way if you are photographing with a Polaroid.
;D

Well I'm sorry to differ but on this side of the border, in France, "a camera" is "un appreil photo" so the French cameras are definitely masculine.
Maybe that why there's not a lot of French cameras since there are only males they can't reproduce. Shall we introduce them to their female German counterparts ?

Well, actually I think that happened already in history. Not a "male" French camera, but a male French-"Cameraman" (Photographer), who did many pictures with a German "female" camera: Henri Cartier-Bresson

or for some example pics of his work:

fwiw.
Belibaste said:Indeed French photographer Cartier Bresson married German photographer Martine Franck. Here's a picture Cartier Bresson made of Martine Franck:
Nope, she's a Belgian. ;)
But maybe I have been not clear enough/too subtle, with my explanation of the camera.
I meant the brand of the camera Cartier Bresson has been using:
It's a camera invented by Oskar Barnack, which is also the first 35mm camera. And the camera (the later developed "M" type, which you can see on the picture) got very famous and still is, because the shutter is very silent, small and also known for the brilliant lenses created by "Leica".
