As I organized my old photos archives, I found this one I made when I followed a photography course for beginners. I had acquired a Nikon FM and the best is that I paid for it with my own money, made by working as Psychological Research trainee at the University. I still have this camera, though I don’t use it anymore, it has a very special and emotional value to me.
These are fishermen appreciating the sunset after returning from a day of work.
Where was it taken? I love it. 🙂
Thanks! It was in Brazil.
A simple pic but I really like it, I love the graininess to it, makes it look much older than it (I guess) is.
The photo was tarnished, so after scanning, I used Lightroom to improve it. I worked with editing contrast, grain, resolution, and could disguise quite a lot of the issues.
I had developed it myself while learning in class, and the quality was not that good either.
Glad you liked it.
What a lovely story and photo. Thank you for sharing lovely lucile x
Thank you my dear Justine! xx
a pleasure as always x
A picture tells so much without talking… it’s stunning!
Indeed. That is one of the reasons I like photography so much. If I cannot say it with words, a photo can do it. Thanks!
Amazing photo with such energy and movement in the silhouettes!
And all the more sweet because of the camera and meaning behind it!
Thank you my dear Lia. You are a master of capturing the emotions and stories behind pictures.

Oh thank you!!!

I love the feeling of this photo, it looks like friends having a great time being together at the beach. Lovely!
I remember they were laughing and enjoying themselves; some played football while others watched the sunset. Thank you!
I love everything about this photo – the silhouette of friends having fun at the beach, the sparkling water, the scattered clouds, the setting sun – a great shot. Thanks for sharing Lucile.
You are so perceptive and kind! Thank you, Michelle!
A beautiful moment captured from the past. The photo and the camera must hold wonderful memories.
Yes, indeed. It holds many memories and that is the main reason I keep it.
There is so much value to holding onto items such as your beloved Nikon, not only as you developed as a photographer, but also as you developed into the wonderful person you are today! 🙂

Carl, you are so generous with your comments! I am humbled.
Heartfelt thanks for so much kindness. ❤

I love the atmosphere in this photo, you can hear the voices, the waves, the gulls and smell the sea. Although I am a total Nikon person now my first ‘real’ camera was my Olympus OM10 which after a refurb still works and I must get it our and use it again…
You described so well, as if you were there! I have been and remain a Nikon person. I wanted a mirrorless and small camera, I got practical advice from Perelincolors, who owned an Olympus, I went for the Olympus OM E-M10. Funny that you started with an Olympus! You should use it as well!
Thanks!
Your photo described it, not me…these were the last shots I took with my Olympus
