Museum piece

Posted by kiwisa (North Shore, New Zealand) on 14 September 2010 in Documentary & Street.

Pre Photoshop and when cameras were uncomplicated - aren't they great? A walk down photography memory lane in the Museum in Noumea

Canon EOS 450D 1/10 second F/4.0 ISO 800 18 mm

Manola from Bassens, France

... Everything had the air so simple in the time(period), but so complicated: on the other hand your cliché is wonderful, thanks to a little bit sepia tones, calling back this history I like very much and then it is so a little of my history: my rear, rear big relatives(parents) make parties of these agricultuers first ones of this island..
... Yes, a beautiful photo;-)))
Well after noon by at home!!!;-)
