    Old hand-me-downs

    I used to own a shiny black car that I loved to take pictures of reflections in the paint.
    My daughter recently upgraded her laptop and gave me her old one. It just so happens to have shiny black paint too. So, I thought I'd try using it as a table top to take a few pictures of some of my other hand-me-down cameras.
    I'm using my NEX 7 with a Micro Nikkor 55mm f3.5 attached to it, and my old Slik U212 tripod.
    This was my grandmother's camera before it became mine.

    I used the self timer to get rid of the ghosting I was getting from manually releasing the shutter. It was kind of weird how those pictures were perfectly focused but there was a ghost around the outer edges of the top of the camera.

    2.5 sec @f11 100 ISO no flash

    C&C welcome of course.

    It never ceases to amaze me what that lens can 'see' that my tired old eyes can't, Jeremy. And here I'd thought I'd dusted it off pretty well prior to taking the shot.
    I'll have to try it again and dust better before hand.
