So, do you see how intently these young gentlemen are look at this teeny-tiny automobile from another era? I've looked and looked and looked, and I'm still not sure exactly what this thing is. I'm told they call these bicycle cars because of the teeny tiny wheels this thing rolls around on. The hood ornament lead me down a road toward Spyker, but that was a dead end (as far as I know.) So, I'm open to suggestions. What Is it?
To me, this is the original smart car (before A/C, seat belts, air bags and disc brakes were considered smart). The only reason I put it in the smart car category is because --- look at how much room is inside. Don't gain any weight, because this car will quickly become a one seater. To save room (and to make it feasible for a driver to get in) there is only one door on the bad boy -- on the passenger's side. If there were a door on the other side, you literally wouldn't be able to get your body past the steering wheel and into the seat--- physically impossible.
Yes, that's a hand crank!
I love ghost flames- nice pain job
All I need is one mic,... to shift my car! I wonder if it could be linked into the stero.. Instant karaoke
What is it?-- It's a pick up truck. You'll have to take a look at the youtube video to see more of this. Ever time I see this truck there is something else that i missed. This time, I found out the truck has running water. lol-- It must be a lot of pressure to out do the last upgraded.
wow, $4,962 for a car.... that would be awesome right now.
This is my first experience with and my first review of a Nikon Camera. I used to be, but I'm not longer the type of photographer that tries to argue about which brand is better(Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, ... etc.) I don't think this is like the Nintendo/Sega video game console wars of the 80s and 90s. If I had the money and time, there's no telling what brand of camera I'd own. There are a lot of factors for photographers - both professional and casual - to take into account. Style, ease of use, compatibility (with other lenses), low light performance, megapixels and recommendations from bloggers, friends and photographers that they admire. Your choice of camera is a very personal one.. and it is sometimes a permanent one. Often times a camera will even outlive it's owner. As you know from some of my previous posts, my dad's camera did outlive my father.. but only by a few years. But, I have been able to fix and use several other older cameras. T…
So, since diving into the world of Photography, .. I've heard of this extravagant expensive pieces of machinery that take Amazing photos. They're usually reserved for fashion and product, photographers. They're called medium Format cameras. I won't be reviewing one of those things today -sorry. But, I'll get pretty close. A friend of mine kept telling me about this camera that she had collecting dust in a closet somewhere. So, Naturally - as a fan of Pawn Stars and American Pickers-- I had my hopes really high for something cool and unique. When she finally got around to bring this camera kit around... I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. The name is familiar.. the camera was not. But I was still surprised. Mamiya. A big, huge name in Medium format cameras .. next to Hasslebad and Pentax.. also used to make SLR cameras. In my opinion they seemed to be some pretty good quality cameras too. But the much smaller company folded under the pressure …
I don't think I'll get yelled at by too many people for this.. But I decided to take my Camera Completely apart to fix a problem inside. OK, relax -- It was my dad's 20 year old EOS 630. It wasn't a 70D, 5D or 1DX. This camera is the very first SLR that I learned to take pictures on. So its pretty special to me. I''l probably never junk it...or sell it on EBay. So, It's been hanging around in the back of a closet somewhere collecting dust. But the digital camera age isn't the only thing that killed this camera. It's the battery drain issue. You can put a brand new 10 dollar battery in this thing.. and it'll be dead the next morning. I did some research and found a write up below on how to fix it. I also tried to record a video of the fix. This is from ... I've shortened the directions on how to fix it just a tad.. but here you go:
Here's a link to the original directions on PopPhoto This is a common problem on the EOS 630 and th…
