As you know from my last post here, I have been feeling a little lost in my photography lately. Not so much the family stuff, but general work and group photography. Today I met up with a friend and just took my little Panasonic Lumix FS-10 CCD camera (released in 2010) and shot 10 frames while we went out for a breakfast, chat and a stroll.
Images are just resized and cropped to 5:4. Other than that they are just the straight from camera jpegs. I have decided to use this little camera as my monochrome monster. I like the look of the black and white it produces, and I have had nice comments from people who also like the look of it.
I know these are nothing special, just snap-shots of a time and a place, and I noticed that seating seems to be a theme! However, I enjoyed our little hour or so out and about. It is great to chat, and discuss things with friends. It is also great to just snap…
And yes… There are 11 images, I just couldn’t resist.

You know, Mark, the FS-10 is actually a surprisingly good choice for this. Those old CCD compacts have a way of rendering black and white that feels far more organic than many modern cameras manage. The tones in your shots here really show that — clean, a bit analog, and with just enough character to make them stand out. It’s funny how a small, unassuming 2010 point-and-shoot can deliver a look some brand-new cameras can’t replicate. Great little monochrome companion you’ve found there.

Thank you Marc, yes, they certainly have a little character and look about them that just isn’t “modern”. And that’s not even mentioning that it’s half the size of my mobile phone!

Ah … very nice. I remembered the saying “it’s not the camera, but the person behind it” – 🙂
