Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I was at a community arts/crafts event this weekend and met someone who was also rocking a point-and-shoot digital camera (though his was about 20 years newer than mine lol), and we got to talking, and he seems really cool and we're going to try and meet up this week and do some photography. I've been sick or out of the state or had emergency family stuff come up for the last 3 weeks of planned social events I've had, so it was really nice to talk to someone and engage for a bit, I was starting to get really lonely.

The craft was making cyanotype with Apollo 15 lunar command module film strips, which was... frickin' awesome.
Here are some of the shots from said 28 year old camera (at their original size, just as they came off the 2Mb memory card)
