Camera App used: 645pro
Additional apps used for post processing:
Snapseed - for a little drama effect with de-saturation.
Portrait HD - JixiPix new app is meant to create beautifully painted portraits, but it's also well suited for any other kind of picture. I had no portrait picture at hand so I tested it on this one.
Blender - to blend the Snapseed version with the Portrait version. Reason was, I wanted to restore some detail on the camera lens which had been lost due to the painting effect. So I erased that part from the Portrait layer and lend it with the Snapseed layer at 88% in normal blending mode. I chose 88% because I wanted to keep part of the canvas texture still shining through on the lens.
Snapseed again - to add a little bit of drama again as well as some fine tuning of light and colors.
PhotoToaster - for the frame
A+Signature - for the copyright watermark.
A few days ago I was finally holding my latest toy in my hands, a genuine Kodak Retina IIIc vintage rage finder camera from the early 1950s that I auctioned on eBay. It came with its original manual as well as with its Certificate of Import and Ownership. Doing a little research I found out it must be a pre-1956 build after it's serial number. The camera is is great condition. The body shows only little traces of wear, all mechanical parts work smoothly and the selenium light meter reacts vividly to light changes. Today I rode out on my bike to do some first shots with the camera. Now I'm curious to bring the film to the photo store for development.
The camera is all mechanical and that's great! It's massive metal body feels great in my hands.
Below is another photo that I took with the 645pro. It's unedited.
Looks like I'm on my best way to become an addicted vintage camera collector....

From which shop we can buy vintage camera and one more thing to ask if the vintage camera is not doing OK that their parts are easily available in market or not.
