I usually don’t repost things, but I was so shocked pleasantly surprised to learn this photo made it into The Antique & Classic Camera Blog Image Contest I decided to make an exception! If you’ve got an extra minute or two please consider checking out all the other great entries (featuring some beautiful equipment and processes). And, if you feel like it, please vote for any of the eight images you like best. Although, if entry No. 4 happens to be your favorite… I wouldn’t feel too badly about that.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Wow congratulation, a terrific pinhole photography!!! Love the vignette!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
Thank you very much for your kind comment! As always!
🙂
Congratulations, Robert, and good luck in the comp!
Thank you very much, S.E…
I was a bit nervous about even mentioning it… but in the end I’m just shameless I guess.
🙂
it’s good that you mentioned it. How else would we know about it? 🙂
I just felt a bit bad people would probably be voting for my entry just because they knew me… not because it was their favorite of the images (which seems particularly unfair if some/any/all of the other folks don’t have their own extremely generous blog friends to do the same). In the end I was just so excited about it, though… I almost couldn’t help but mention it…
🙂
Wow, Congrats!! SIG, this is great news. Way to go!! I’m “stoked” for you!! (This is word is ok, right?) Yay!
Aw, thanks, B.F!
Hahaha… I hope it is… I still drop plenty of stoked-bombs myself, you know!
🙂
I hope you win, SIG!!
I was just honored to have the chance to participate!
And honored to make it this far!
Thanks so much for that, B.F! You are always so kind!
🙂
Congrats! Voted for #4, and not just because it’s yours!

Those are the best kind!
🙂
Congrats, SIG! How terrific.

I’m still in shock, Ms. C!
And THANK YOU! I really appreciate that… although there are some pretty great entries to see (even some wet-plate stuff… *sigh*)!
🙂
Just a little lower 😉
Hahaha…
I wouldn’t subject you to such horrors, Loon.
🙂
Voted my friend!! Good luck!!!!

Reblogged this on A New Day Dawns and commented:
I don’t know if you follow Robert’s blog, but check out his entry in The Antique & Classic Camera Blog Image Contest–and GO VOTE for him! Thanks!
AWESOME, Patti!
This was ridiculously kind of you!!! You sure didn’t have to do that, but wow… do I ever appreciate it! Oh, have I mentioned thank you? Because… you know… thank you!
🙂
Congrats, Robert! I’ve voted, and I will share with others. Good luck. The picture is excellent. I’m not shocked or pleasantly surprised you were nominated. 🙂
You are always so kind, Ms. D! Thank you very, very much! I sincerely appreciate that!
Shocked was a ‘bit’ of an understatement, honestly! And by a bit… I mean a ‘whole lot’!
🙂
Great job. If you win do you get to be president? j/k
Your photography is always awesome.
Many thanks, Bo!
Hahaha… oh, man… I sure hope not!
Very, very kind of you so say, Mr. L… thank you again!
🙂
How often can I vote?
It’s a one shot deal, Bearman…
but thanks so much for asking! Not that I’m surprised that you would… you’re constantly helping everyone out.
🙂
Usually myself
Ha!
Funny… but not true.
🙂
I know that you love everything Vintage SIG
and if you wander into one of my extra pages
you will find some more treasures that I am
sure you will appreciate 🙂
Good luck with the contest and hopefully
number four will be your lucky number 🙂 🙂
Great re-post by the way, I like this a lot…
Androgoth
Interesting, Andro! I’m intrigued! I’ll have to check that out A.S.A.P!
And thank you again, sir! I already feel as though it is…
with so many kind comments like the one you’ve generously left here (yet again), A.G!
Thank you for that! Very much!
🙂
You are welcome SIG I enjoy calling into your Space and you always have something unique to offer everyone 🙂 Have a really great evening and I hope that my Vintage surprise is to your liking 😉 lol
Androgoth
That is very kind of you to say, sir… and wonderful to hear! I hope things aren’t getting too stale over here… I try to keep things interesting (although to tell you the truth when I get pulled into some longer / more complicated projects I begin to worry I’m neglecting things in the meantime)… so nice for folks such as yourself to stick around regardless! I sincerely appreciate that, Andro!
And ABSOLUTELY! Some lovely images… but I suspect you knew I’d feel that way all along!
🙂
Yes well we have very similar tastes my great friend and know when something is exceedingly wicked shall we say 🙂 I will look forward to many more of your artistic talents, as I have not been disappointed with anything that you have added 🙂 Excellent is a word that I often think of when frequenting your Space 🙂
Have a superb rest of evening SIG 🙂
Androgoth
Wow, well done SiG!!! Going over to cast a vote on this little silver beauty!
Thank you for your great kindness, as always, Ms. K!
Seriously… you spoil me over here! But I do appreciate it very, very much!
🙂
Great image, Robert. Interestingly, a couple of the others looked liked ones you could have done, too. I voted for your four of course!
Thank you so much for that, sir!
So kind of you to vote for me… and so kind of you to say that! Except that I have to cheat when trying to replicate images like that… those pieces are the real thing! So cool, right?! I sure hope that someday I’ll actually be making the real things myself, too!
🙂
Great photo. As one of your adoring fans I’ll go vote now.
OK voted for yours. I really liked #’s 2 & 8 as well.
Thanks so much, Tony!
Oh, man… I know! Aren’t those beauties?! And they’re the real thing, too!
I’ve got to tell you, I was a bit embarrassed even promoting this one… because all of those entries are so strong! I wouldn’t feel too badly about losing to any one of them!
🙂
And as a very humbled blogger I sincerely appreciate that, sir! So very kind of you to do so!
🙂
oh yes… #4 clearly the best.
🙂
Man, Mr. B… I was a wondering if I should even mention the contest here… those other entries are just SO strong. Talk about beautiful equipment AND processes… and the REAL thing, too! I sure hope I can get into some real wet-plate work at some point… just jaw-dropping stuff.
🙂
You clearly belonged there!
Hahaha… well… I don’t know…
still, thank you very, very much Mr. B!
🙂
Congrats, Sig!
Love the photo! 🙂
Have a terrific weekend! xx
Why thank you, Deb!
Very much!
I hope you’re weekend is going nicely, too!
(I’m feeling much better now that Notre Dame squeezed out another win!)
🙂
Congratulations! Count on me to vote for #4!
Thank you so very much, Nancy!
I sincerely appreciate that! The other seven are so strong, I almost felt bad
extorting votestelling everyone about this thing!🙂
Great shot! Best of luck to you . . . you got my vote. 😀
Aw, thanks much, Nancy!
Very, very kind of you… especially considering how good all the entries are (kind of intimidating, to be honest)!
🙂
Shameless, shmameless. Some of the world’s nicest photographers can be shameless, and I say good on them 🙂
You got my vote! A very cool click. Thanks for sharing.
*Whew* That’s a relief to hear, P&K…
I was feeling a bit guilty about the whole thing to tell you the truth!
And thank you! Very, very much!
🙂
Done, my friend… but come on people, he still needs more votes! Lovely photo, well done on getting to the final eight; best of luck in being the final one. 🙂
Thank you very, very much, Nigel!
I’ll tell you… I’m thrilled and grateful for each and every vote…
wouldn’t feel too badly about loosing to any of these entries though… such a strong field! It was an absolute honor to be considered!
🙂
Congratulations!!!! 😀 So happy for you!
Thank you so very much, Cristina!
It was a wonderful surprise!
🙂
I didn’t find my comment here… hm
It’s too late to wish you happy weekend, so I wish you happy week 🙂
Oh no! I’m very sorry to hear that, Ms. B…
I’m not sure what happened there!
But I thank you very much for stopping by again! And for your very kind comment as well!
I hope you have a wonderful week, too, of course! Thank you again!
🙂
Wooh! That’s awesome – you totally deserve it!
Well, I don’t know…
but I do totally appreciate it! Very much!
Thanks, Megan!
🙂
Congratulations Bob, You deserve to have it 🙂
You are so very kind to say that, Jake!
As always, sir!
🙂
Congrats and good luck. May you fare better than the St. Louis Rams 🙂
Thank you very much, Mel!
Hahaha… it would be nice, but… yeah.
🙂
Beautiful, Inky! I voted for you and really hope you win! 😀
Oh, thank you so much, Dishy!
I was thrilled to be included with all these wonderful entries… what an honor!
🙂
Excellent piece. Always love media about media. Very metatexual, breaking the mass media 4th wall. 😉
Thanks so much, sir! I wish I could take credit for getting to that level with the concept… it was probably more a bit of, ‘hey – that’s a shiny box!’ on my end. Kind of sad.
🙂
Congratulations, SIG. It ‘s a great photo. I love the light and what a cool camera. And, I voted!
Thank you so very much, S.F!
I would have gotten smoked without everyone’s help! Wouldn’t have felt too badly about that, though… such nice entries!
🙂
Reblogged this on filmcamera999.
Outstanding! I always loved this one.
Thank you very much, Annabelle!
