I\u2019ve been learning new camera techniques during our extended winter. I am loving Digital Photography School<\/a> right now. The bonus – it’s free! Anyway, I was looking for something inside to try out a few new settings on, since the weather is rainy and cold. Not to mention the blah brown landscape we still have.<\/p>\n

I have a camera collection that I display above my built in buffet. There are some really special ones in my collection that I love looking at. They are not special because of their monetary value, but for their stories.<\/p>\n

This camera came from my father-in-law. He was drafted into the United States Army during peacetime in the 1950\u2019s for two years. One year was spent in Germany. He had many entertaining stories about his time there, and about the ship ride home. It was on the ship that he came into possession of this camera. According to FIL, there were a few guys gambling to pass the time. One of the guys offered to sell his camera for $30 so he could pay his debt. My FIL agreed, and bought the camera. He used it for a while before updating to a newer Argus camera. He was a pretty good hobby photographer, but mostly used his cameras to take photos at family gatherings.<\/p>\n

In this photo, I used natural light from our large east facing windows, and had black velvet behind and under the AGFA.\u00a0 Other settings: Canon 60D, Av mode, ISO 800, f\/2.8, 1\/125, 34mm focal length. The technique I was playing with was using Av mode to achieve a shallow DOF. I also used the manual focal point setting aimed at the lettering on the top ring of the lens.<\/p>\n
