Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments - Chandana
Different types of old victrola needles. Don't try using these on vinyl records or they'll be shredded. :)
For Macro Mondays theme of "Back in the Day".
"Alfa Isolette I" The Isolette I was build between 1951-58 and is a low-specification model. The camera has a coated f4.5 Agnar lens and a synchronised Vario (or Pronto) shutter.
The Isolette is a compact horizontal - folding camera for twelve 6 × 6cm pictures or sixteen 4.5 × 6cm pictures. The camera was made by Agfa Kamerawerk AG, Munich, Germany.
This image show the maximum aperture of f/32 and the thread for the mechanical remote release by wire.
This type of camera was the first I has used more than 40 years ago :-)

#macromondays #backintheday I love percolated coffee. In my opinion it’s better than dripped or the coffe made with the kcups. Grandma used to make percolated coffee.
As I said in my bio, when I was a young man I got to play with some VERY neat sports cars. This Ferrari 365GTB/4 Daytona was my absolute favorite; it was my daily driver for a month or so while we were rebuilding the motor of my '71 Alfa Romeo in between paying customer's cars. You can understand why it took so long... 😉
Taken with a Nikon FTn and Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 on Kodachrome 64 and scanned to digital from the slide.
No photoshop trickery here, just 20000 Volts passing between two typewriter keys.
This was not easy to find a balance of exposure between the flash and the arcing

Making Of:
Today in the era of all modern sophisticated cars and electric cars let us remember the 1st generation of car. There are still many hobbyist who have these cars in their garage. Obviously these cars cannot be used for general purpose today but can be displayed in the exhibition to let younger generation people know about the legacy of these cars. The maintenance of these cars is higher than any of the luxury cars today and sometime, some of its spare parts cannot be found.

I used Terry nappies for both of my children. They were a lot of work but well worth the effort I think. Save the planet!!
"Back in the Day" -- Macro Mondays
Back in the day, Canada used to mint a silver dollar. It was about 1.5" across and was fairly heavy. It was about 80% silver. The one shown here is probably worth about $40.
My late father had a collection of silver dollars which he kept in a cloth bag in a drawer. They were mainly special issue commemorative coins which were legal tender but people usually just kept them. The over-exposed one on the right was for Canada's centenary 1867 - 1967. The under-exposed one on the left commemorated the centennial of B.C.'s entry into Canada 1871 - 1971. The one in the centre was just a regular issue coin but it touched me when I found it among dad's things. It was issued the year I was born.

This was my father’s old work phone way back in the 1970’s. They were upgrading I presume as they were throwing it our, but my father a wise old owl could see the potential back then even that this had the potential to be of value. For years it was a toy for me as I grew up. These days it sits on a table in the hallway, a reminder of my dad. One day maybe I’ll get it fixed so that it works again, but for now it’s a great memory of a fabulous guy.
Thanks for stopping HMM
The Old Silver Threepence bits, had quite a few and and being made out of silver had them made into a bracelet
This circle dates back to 1870 and belonged to my husband's great grandfather. It is a circle made of brass and steel. The great-grandfather was a construction technician in Magdeburg, Germany
..in photographing there was extra surprise factor developing in a tank. Film is not dead (...even I have one or two in the freezer :) ), but it has become rare these digital days. So I guess one could say developing negatives is on the verge of extinction.
In my photo there is inherited instruments for developing film. I never used these metallic equipment, only the plastic ones.
I miss the slow motion of developing photoes and the long and dark hours in the darkroom...

The time is over, that this tiny shell was a cozy habitation for a shell. Now I've just grabbed it. Because I had been on vacation last week, I was far from everything with a past and a certain uselessness ... So I went looking for something with a past and something that is no longer in use and took a picture. I found this shell on the beach and only this one half with the tiny hole. The funny thing was that I still had a painted rock from a previous trip in the side pocket of my backpack. Placed behind the shell, both looked to me like faces that winked as enjoyably into the evening sun as I ;-)
The long side measures 0.7 inches.

Die Zeit ist vorbei, in der diese winzige Schale eine gemütliche Behausung für eine Muschel war. Jetzt habe ich sie mir erst einmal geschnappt. Weil ich die letzte Woche gerade Urlaub gemacht hatte, war ich von allen Dingen mit Vergangenheit und einer gewissen Nutzlosigkeit fern ... Also machte ich mich hier auf die Suche nach etwas mit Vergangenheit und etwas, das nicht mehr im Gebrauch ist und machte ein Foto. Ich habe am Strand diese Muschel gefunden und auch nur diese eine Hälfte mit dem winzigen Loch. Das Lustige war, dass ich in der Seitentasche meines Rucksacks noch einen bemalten Stein von einer früheren Reise hatte. Hinter der Muschel platziert, sahen beide für mich so aus wie Gesichter, die ebenso genussvoll in die Abendsonne blinzelten wie ich ;-)
Die lange Seite misst 1,8 cm.
