Batsto Crib Barn (time travel image)

Never seen a barn quite like that. Nice, old time look ... could use a little restoration.

Nice good old time look on the barn but the black dots are a bit distracting. As suggested, it could use a touch of restoration.

This photo of the Chief Menomonee monument has an old timey feel.

The old time feel comes from the way it was shot.

It was shot with a f360 pinhole on a 4x5 view camera. Overcast day, with high winds moving the branches.

Post processing was limited to exposure and the addition of the sepia tone.

The black spots were dregs of old developer

Great looking camera. I love those old products of skilled craftsmen.

The view camera I use was made in 1910. I used a pinhole lens, since the period lens shutter does not work.

Here is the same monument, taken at the same time, with my mom's 1940 Anco Agfa box camera. I adapted the 116 spools to accept 120 format film.

I am currently working on an enlarger so I can print rather than scan the negatives.

As you can tell I like tinkering with the old stuff as well as the new.

Be sure to show us more.

I think they look great, such character to them.

I’ve photographed that barn a Lot over the past decades and that’s my favorite by far. The 75mm Dominar Lens Really has a distinctive look. The camera is much more questions than answers. All I know is it’s sn SLR from an era before the exacta and sport. The coverings on the top back and sides are Ford Model T Roof material!

So in theory, it being part Model T, you could "Rat Rod" the camera out and make it faster. :barbershop_quartet_member:
