One photo every day: Joystick (162/365)
Hello!
Something retro this time for you to see. This isn't an original Competition Pro model, but pretty close, and pretty good for those old Commodore 64, Atari 520 STE, and Amiga 500 games I used to play when I was a kid.
Speedlink Competition Pro
Camera body: Canon EOS 550D
Lens: Sigma ART 50 mm ƒ/1.4
Aperture: ƒ/2.2
Exposure: 8 s
ISO: Dual-ISO 400+800
This one has some of those old games built in. Too bad it needs a Windows machine to play them, but I don't think it's impossible to run them via an emulator.
Heh, well I'll be trying it out soon. :)
(Oh, and I have no idea why I didn't check the ISO setting before shooting this one. I could have shot it much cleaner. Anyway it looks pretty good so...)

Good god the bring back some memories! I had an Amiga 500 back in the day and spend most of my early teens hooked to that machine like it was my lady or something, lol...
And I played the games with a joystick not too dissimilar to that one! Though it might have only had two buttons, lol! Awesome photos, bud. :)
I had one of those, too. Used to play games on C64 with it.
Amazing photo thank you so much for sharing
dose it have the suction cups on the bottom?!?!?!
xD
Nah, Quickshot joysticks had those, Competition Pro didn't.
LOL
i suddenly miss my atari 2600
Damn that's old school, far before my time ^^
@gamer00,
I have never seen a joystick in such great way! Excellent photography of it! Is this a macro shot?
Cheers~
Thanks! Nope, macro photography is the act of shooting very very close to the subject, closer than 25 cm, often as close as a few millimeters, as is case in many of those I took with my phone and tablet using the magnifying loupe as a macro lens. When I use the loupe as an additional lens, the longest distance from the subject can be only a couple of centimeters.
keep up the good work and have nice time @gamer00
Pretty nice way to present it front of us !
Nice shot buddy !
