May 2009 Photography Assignment - Nostalgia

[Mad Aussie]

Mad Aussie, I like your camera shot alot, but it would have been great to see more detail on the front of the camera eg: The numbers on the aperture ring and text on the edge of the lens This would help in showing the camera's vintage in the photo. Perhaps a lighter background too. Nice idea with LED lighting! :-)

I didn't have one with a lighter background but I do have this one with more detail ...

The Two Ronnies are a 'Nostalgic' pair of British comedians that kept us laughing through the 70's.

Ronnie Barker died in 2005, Ronnie Corbett lives on.

That's certainly a nice bit of nostalgia for me. I used to love sitting down to these guys. As a kid, I didn't always get the double entendre, but even back then I thought they were funny. I'm not sure about the DVD though, as these guys were really before DVD.
You have captured 'Nostalgia' quite nicely here, rather than just 'old'.

I was also wondering what others thought of a bit more discussion about the assignments either at the end of the month or during the month about how images meet the assignment ?? Portrait was obviously a bit difficult to do this.

I inlcuded the DVD to illustrate 'Nostalgia meets modern day'.

You can borrow the DVD if you'd like to relive some Ronnie's.

But for now it's "Goodnight from me .... "

Bambi, very pretty!

Mad Aussie, ha! ha! I know who the two Ronnies are. I used to, in the 80's, watch a t.v. show, on PBS that I think was from Australia about this crazy Mother who lived with her son who was a dentist. It was hilarious. Ok, I went and looked it up. Mother and Son

I've never watched that one..but the one with the english show where they worked at the store. Can't remember the name of it.

Nice photos! Keep it up everyone!
