Dangling Cables_A7R8282
My first SLR was a Canon F1. It's a marvel of mechanical engineering. There are levers, gears and springs working in perfect timing to expose a patch of film and then advance that film to just the right spot to repeat the process on the next unexposed patch. The camera I used for this image has a marvel of a mechanical shutter that works to expose the image sensor to just the right amount of light to generate an image that can be saved to a memory card. The shutter mechanism is about the only mechanical device in the camera that directly contributes to the image. The rest of the process is a computer moving bits from the sensor to the card. There are some cameras that have no mechanical shutter. I have a little point and shoot from 2010 that uses a recording to imitate a shutter click. The computer centric nature of modern cameras means that batteries must be kept charged. Therefore, everywhere I have a computer there is not only a rat's nest of wires that go with the computer but as here a dangling mass of USB cables of various design for the battery chargers and power bricks necessary to keep everything going. This image is sixty-five mm across. HMM and thank you for any views, faves and comments.
