Old Fashion Photography

You know those pictures where no one is smiling, the old rustic shoots with the photographer hidden behind a black bag. Well I got to travel through time and try one of those cameras out. It took awhile figuring out the f shot and the exposure time for the shot, but it was fun. Leaning over this massive camera, hoping I'm pushing the right buttons is a thrilling experience. The shot I took was not the most exciting picture, seeing as it was just a shot out of the school window, but it was more about the learning process as well as the experience and knowledge that came with it.

The Camera was kinda of like this, the old accordion kind of style. The one I used was a little more modern then the one above, but the picture gives you the kind of idea.
