I thought that today i would try something different🙂

This is a Canon AE-1 from 1981 in mint condition and it works! I don’t think the case is a Canon original, but it’s from the same time as the camera.
A new battery and maybe some small service and youre good to go😊

And also this is a memory from a man who was married to my mum at the time, and he gave this camera to me, for about 15 years ago.
The year after he died, and I really miss him sometimes. He was one of the nicest and sweetest man I have ever known, so for me this camera is important to preserve and to remember him about.

Shot taken by Nikon D3300 - ohh the irony there😂

The view from our yard.

Mount Makiling (also known as Mount Maquiling) is an inactive stratovolcano located in the provinces of Laguna and Batangas on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The mountain rises to an elevation of 1,090 m (3,580 ft) above mean sea level and is the highest feature of the Laguna Volcanic Field. The volcano has no recorded historic eruption but volcanism is still evident through geothermal features like mud spring and hot springs. South of the mountain is the Makiling-Banahaw Geothermal Plant. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) classifies the volcano as "Inactive".
Mount Makiling is a state-owned forest reserve administered by the University of the Philippines Los Baños. Prior to its transfer to the university, the mountain was the first national park of the Philippines. Mount Makiling National Park was established on February 23, 1933, by Proclamation No. 552. However, it was decommissioned as a national park on June 20, 1963, by Republic Act no. 3523 when it was transferred to the university for use in forestry education and information.

Thanks!
I have a lot of pictures taken by this Canon. Many of the beautiful and stunning mountains in the north😊
The only problem is that I don’t have a scanner. I know, if you’re a real photographer you should have one🙂
Idk if I take a photo of a photo is good enough?

I probably should buy a scanner and start to scan. I have so many printed photos and also slides from me and my siblings from our youth.
But it’s so much work😂
