This is a photo of an late March 2022 camping trip I took with Betty, my dog, the first spring that I had the camper. It was quite a bit warmer than expected, so we were able to go out for an early spring camp in late march. While the days were in the mid 60s, the third night we were out there was weather shift where temperatures dropped down to the upper teens suddenly. The little furnace in the popup camper did keep us warm along with an electric space heater, however I did need to get up in the middle of the night to change the propane tank over so we could stay plenty warm in our bed.

The old camera I used was a Cannon 110 ED, a 110 camera that could imprint the date on a photo electronically, interestingly enough, the date range was from 70 to 89, so no 90, let along Y2K. This camera doesn't have a clock that keeps track of the date, so it is up to the user to set the dials correctly on their own for the date to display. The dials spin discs that contain different cut outs for each number with a small light bulb that shines through these cut outs to print the date directly on the frame of the 110 film. When I was first getting into photography, my first camera could print the date in the bottom corner of the photo, but I always left that feature off, though after going back to trying out film, I find it interesting. The film I used for this shot was generic black and white 110 film that I developed at home using Kodak D76.

One thing I've found interesting with old cameras is trying to take photos that look like they could have been taken at the time with the said camera would have been mainstream use. Though creating anachronistic photos is quite fun as well, such as some 135 slides I took of the family at Christmas one year and showed the next Christmas after the 1970s/1980s slides were shown, the little kids found it exciting to see themselves projected through the slide projector with slides they could remember.
