Snowshoeing 2

I brought a simple Kodak C813 (8.1 megapixel "point and shoot ") camera snowshoeing today. I'm not entirely trilled, but I still like the way some scenes were captured. My one obvious complaint is lens quality, and it shows in the detail, but it beats bringing nothing and it's light. They retail for about $44.99 now. It was my wife's, I replaced it with a Canon Powershot that takes much better pictures, so this is mine for walking around with, and not having to worry about.

Yashica

Today's job is to get this old medium format Yashica cleaned up and loaded with 120 film. My Father in Law gave it to me as a Christmas gift, and these old cameras are legendary for generating amazing quality photos, should be fun...
