It just rains today without a break, so here's one from the archive. Took this about 12 years ago with my first K100D and the kit lens. The blacksmith had his mobile shop at a craft market and he was kind enough to produce an extra shower of sparks for the picture.

Don't get me wrong, I like the second one too, but the first one for me is just a fantastic photo.

The old ccd sensors are still looking good.

Thank you! There's some weird way that the old CCD sensors capture hues that I've never been able to replicate. Of course I'd love to go back to using them but that 5 second write to card time is a bit hard to stomach now.

Nice work - you're really showing off what these old cameras are capable of in the right hands!
