My wife wanted a special wine for Easter that I could not find in our county. Frederick Maryland had it, so I drove up there to buy it and took some photos. I used an old Yashica Flex medium format camera, and focused on buildings. I usually use this camera for portraits which I'm not allowed to share. Frederick has an interesting history, civil war, and a very eclectic and vibrant downtown area, I bought some local made pottery as a gift to my wife while I was there,
Nice, Ed. Those old buildings could surely tell some tales. I've been in that area many times, in the Winchester/Front Royal vicinity. So much history. I like that you showed the camera at the beginning. Still going strong.
Thanks Dave. I remember going to the Winchester Apple festival when I was in my 20’s. So much fun. They had an actual Pine Wood Derby race down a steep street; I took photos but they are lost to time. Front Royal is nice, I should get up there and take some photos.
It can be a struggle to keep my old cameras going. I’m currently in year two of working on an old 6x9 bellows camera trying to get that to be productive.
I love those old brick buildings they just have so much character. And when you take a picture of them through time only the surroundings change. Unfortunately we do not have too much brick buildings in this area. It is great that you are able to keep those old cameras up an running. The camera helps accentuate the subject matter.

I don’t think bricks and earthquakes are a good combo
Agreed. Case in point. The great 1907 San Francisco earthquake. Bricks not so good.
Interesting piece of trivia. Many of the pictures of the destruction were obtained by tying cameras to helium balloons to get up in the air to get that perspective. They used a Picavet rigging system to level the camera.

I always look forward to this YouTuber posting videos; a good combination of explanation and photos in interesting places. If you have time to spend watch this video, he really details what to look for in B&W photography and working with light. I wish I had his equipment!
I feel like I'm spamming the site with film photography lately, but I've had some time to go take photos.
I went down to Alexandria Virginia this past weekend and shot some film with my old YashicaFlex medium format camera along the water front, right across from Washington DC. Also stopped for a pint at the Union Street Public House
Wow, very cool, Ed. I watched it twice. Makes me want to go there. Don't know why you'd say you feel like you're spamming; this is certainly what Muvipix is all about, no matter what the medium.

The picture of the "JuiceBox" camper trailer looks like something out of a Twilight zone episode. The trailer is vintage but the decal look very modern....... "There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone."

I thought that camper looked strange as well Sidd, that's why I took a shot of it. Apparently its only open on weekends for limited hours and serves fresh juices.
Peru, it is a wipe/dissolve transition. I edited this in Movavi and its on of the available transitions.

I really like that one. Premiere Pro doesn't have that transition. I also have proDAD Vitascene 3 Pro, but it's not in there either. I'm going to try creating it by using a gradient wipe and a custom gradient.
