Description
This camera is almost 60 years old. Herewith my father took pictures of me when I was a baby. In the early seventies he gave it to me as a gift, so I learned to photograph.
Some effects added in Photoshop, just for fun.
Thanks for viewing.

great treatment of this handsome camera
Wonderful camera..looks great!!
How marvellous, Klaus!
Wonderfully postworked capture!
I konow this camera. Great postwork. Well done
It was a very nice German fellow that managed our photo lab at Spinelli in Mannheim that got me started towards professional photography. Unlike others, I cut my teeth on medium and large format cameras even before buying my first 35mm! It was in Heidelberg shooting everything that moved where I honed my initial skills and fostered a love of history and photography that has lasted a lifetime. I still love those great old cameras of the era like the one you shared here! I wish we had met when I was over your way back then...
Hol das Schätzchen bitte aus dem Wasser!! Eine super Montage, Klaus. Das muß unbedingt in die Gallery of the week!! 10+
Hope the water was postworked ^^ - Nice work with your beloved 1s camera :)
Fantastic camera and splendid postwork! :)
I know your heart smiled the day he gave it to you. :))))) I have a camera my parents gave to me. I think it was/is a nikon camera. :))))))) Beautiful postwork and most excellent capture of a gift from the heart. :)))) Thank you so very much for sharing such a sweet moment. :)))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))
A great image and super effects Klaus.
You made a mundane subject very attractive. Well done.
can you still take pics?
wonderful photo and colours
outstanding work
Oh no, that lovely old camera getting all water soaked! I hope it still worked after drying off. Anyway, great photo and postwork on this one, Klaus. I like the reflections in the water.
What a great gift from your father. You must be proud! My father had a Varex Exacta, made in Dresden. He did not give it to me, so I had to steal it, and I informed him that it was my legacy and to forget about it. Grumbled a bit, but finally accepted the fact. Excellent capture and great PW.!
Cool work and image, well done...
Excellent
Wow, you did a super job with this! Love it!
