Ever thought about snapping a pic of the International Space Station with a vintage thrift store lens? Challenge accepted! Just like my attempts at baking a soufflé, it’s a recipe for disaster. [saveitforparts] decided to take on this cosmic photography quest, proving that not all treasures found in second-hand stores are worth keeping—especially when trying to capture what looks like a glowing tic-tac in the sky!
Honestly, if I wanted to see blurred, pixelated shots, I would just dig through my high school yearbook. But hey, if you’re looking to expand your skills in patience and pixelation, grab that dusty lens and start aiming for the stars (with a side of disappointment).
Because what else says “I’m an aspiring astronaut” like an unclear photo of a satellite?
