They definitely have a nice soft look to them, good captures mate. Outdated digital cameras will have a renaissance in a few years similar to film/vhs/vintage lenses.

I’m already starting to see old handycam’s with 360p or 480p recording go up in value. There’s a growing demand for that 2000’s vintage look as kids who grew up during it get older.

Honestly sad my thought. That kind of overexposed, hazy grain reminds me of certain film. They meet a certain aesthetic for sure.

I have an iPhone SE from 2016, if it's evening or I zoom in too far it gets really grainy. My friend called it a "vintage camera" and made me laugh, but I guess with how much phone cams have advanced since then it really is.

mavica

It captures light wonderfully.

thank you so much!

which phone was it? i need it now haha

i took these on a nokia 130, 2017 model! posted its pics here after transferring from the sd card to commemorate its journey with me because the phone's controls died recently

Last one likes like straight outta the walking dead

or "28 days later"

[удалено]

That's exactly what I felt and thought. They honestly remind me of the beginning of 28 days later.

Nah, 00s phone have much lower pixel and blueish white balance. This looks like 10s to me

These are great homie

thank youuuuuuu :]]

Incredible shots, I love the composition and the places you took it Can you tell me what phone it is? It almost looks like film

thank you so so much for the compliments! i used a 2017 model nokia 130, dunno if it's still being produced but i loved it so much! the said phone broke recently tho so im posting its journey here!

Is this Hanoi-Amsterdam or am I just misremembering?

somehow you got the location right! the place sure looks apocalyptic as hell due to multiple areas being neglected/abandoned since maintenance fees are never enough for a massive high school :[

Where is this place

Japan? Phillipines? Brazil?

the edge of the universe, far from the many eyes of AL-YISUN and the chaotic black flame of YIS /j

Finally some actually liminal pictures for once.

thank you very much! that means a lot

Lol these aren't liminal

It felt like 2001 all over again

Very City 17

Where you go to school? Chernoybl? Jokes aside the pics look great and give off a found footage horror vibe. Kinda looks like that one mission in MW tho lmao

Old cameras, are great for liminal spaces. Such low res, soft focus and very deatil/textures give a very dreamy and interesting look.

I would 100% pick up a science fiction book with #3 as the cover and read it in one sitting.

Shots 2 and 3 are especially great. The lines in shot 2 really complement the composition with the stairs and the light reflecting off the ceiling and the blurriness add a dreamy surrealness

thank you very much for the insightful comment! i appreciate it a lot lot as an artist!

Idk why but the lighting and the area you taking photos make pretty and comforting even. Like idk it looks like a nice place to chill, inviting even.

it really is a nice place to chill out! these are my irl school halls and i love hanging out there :] thank you for the compliments!

I swear I've dreamed about this school.

literally last nights dream. whose memories are these?? 💀

So have I 😭

How do you guys even remember your dreams. I forget mine two hours after waking up

Definitely been to #3 in a dream before

They look like from a film camera, not an old digital camera. Dynamic range is way too high, unless they were heavily edited. Old shitty digital cameras had a lot of color noise and weird tints. Most probably fake but Id like to be proven wrong.

i really want to question myself how come a nokia could take these as well, but maybe its because the poor thing fell into the water multiple times along with getting broken apart + put back time after time that it got the weird effects ;(((i can pm proof of my nokia phone if you need! and if it helps, its a 2017 model nokia a130!

Yeah you’ve really done some very cool shit here my dude

thanks a lot for your insights! i love seeing comments that break down compositions and settings of my photos!

Gimme dem phone deets 🤗

its the 2017 model nokia a130 :]

I’ve seen this in a dream 😭

I can hear the balamb garden track from final fantasy 8 when I look at the 3rd one

Looks like dalle

The fifth one reminds me of so many of the 9/11 photos you'd see that bystanders took.

Gosh these are beautiful. Cool quality of the phone aside, your composition is lovely.

thank you so so much! it means a lot to me as an artist as well :]

These are great, you should consider doing some more!

thanks a lot for the compliment :] im posting more of these pictures from the phone's sd card here later! it's been through a lot of things and the posts are to commemorate its journey!

what country?

It's just a distant memory.

Beer Sheba?

I feel like these are screen caps from a 1990s Japanese film

YEAH EPIC PICS FEESH !!!

THANK YOU LEAAAAA AAAAAAAA

Where at?

I actually think you most likely did expect them to turn out this way. What other way would the expectation be?

why is ur school next to a jungle (3rd pic)

oh its the overgrown garden! it's been demolished recently tho so im really sad :[

Wow these are great

You have a great eye, my dude.

thank you! :]

I love these

damn these are fantastic, good going!

Jebus crust this is right out of my nightmares

What nokia? Looks amazing

Gorgeous! 3310?

Wow these are amazing

This school looks epic!

This is the good stuff.

a r t

That third one tho…

These make me feeeeel thing!!

Pic 1 : "Pick up that can"

Now that's liminal

No. 1 and 5 look like paintings, beautiful;)

What model did u use?

a 2017 nokia a130!

reminds me of ‘eternal sunshine of the spotless mind’

Wtf the last one looks like the apocalypse

There's a very nostalgic aesthetic to these pics. Very 28 days later raw, early noughties digital

Best post on the sub, hands down

I love these dude, great job!

thanks a lot :]

kenopsia

Reminds me of Gekkoukan from Persona 3 lol

Last one seems to be some brazilian city

These are so good. Can't stop looking

thank youuuuu :]

This. Is what i wanna reincarnate into

WHY do i dig this so much, really can't tell you what makes it but it does!

Holy shit, minecraft with PTGI shaders

What phone?

I will be messaging you in 7 days on

its a 2017 nokia a130 :]

This reminds me of some of Edward Hopper's paintings.

So good

Turned out so cool

No lie, these shots really remind me of Cowboy Bebop for some reason

Reminds me of photos taken with Lomo cameras

I'd pay for that filter

Very cool shots!

How did you manage to make a picture look soft

Wow, I love these. It reminds me of Tumblr circa 2010. The best hipster vibes right here.

These are excellent.

Did you edit these in any way or completely untouched? It's totally okay if you edited it btw

theyre all unedited! nokia picture quality makes them this way

suddenly sentimental for a place I’ve never been

Overrated

Love those soft lights and textures from old camera. It gives a different vibe, gives that nostalgia effect. A trip to memory lane. Vintage ♥️

I like these they have a cool vibe

They look like paintings

3rd one is beautiful, and the last one looks like a painting

It looks like a sonic adventure level in a really distinct way

1st and 3rd are the ones

This is one of those nice tranquil liminal spaces. I wouldn’t mind getting lost in that tbh

Dang these are nice. Also more of nostalgia than liminal space for me. My family has so many photos like this. Early mornings, excited young parents in a new country. Every morning was a blessing and an opportunity. Pretty photos

Last pic, rooftop stairs, that place would have been a great smoking spot for the gang. Given of course that all are in legal age and no SCP is hunting us.

I can feel it

wow. I like the first pic. what city is it?

Is it not actually a film camera but a nokia?

yea! its a nokia a130, 2017 model! it's been with me a while before its demise recently. rip

These are awesome. They give me nostalgia for a place I've never been

The third one is fucken dope

Are you a time traveler?

They’re so beautiful and feel sort of nostalgic too.

this is a time capsule

These look so amazing, great job! Where is this weird school lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/LiminalSpace/comments/wcrxsf/took_some_pics_of_my_weird_school_using_an_old/iieu8ya

These look great

Awesome! Best liminal space photos I ever seen!

Straight-up apocalyptic yet oddly calming to look at. 10/10

3rd picture is captivating

This is so awesome! Keep it up man, I‘d love to see more photos taken with that old Nokia.

OP has reported its tragic demise.

Makes me want to bust my old phones out for pics

At least check the batteries and dust them off. Poor, lonely phones. :-)

Very nostalgic.

The interior of your school looks like every 90s teen movie ever

Wait I know this place. I think I might know you as well. Sorry if that’s creepy and it’s definitely is.

Earlier comment:

By any chance, did you happen to take them in Puerto Rico?

Found this earlier comment:

Any of these could be the album cover to a wildly underrated 90s Japanese indie band

Nokia very amazing even really outdated.

replications

beautiful!!!!

They look like film photos. Nevertheless, very beautiful pics! Reminds me of anime backgrounds.

bro time traveled back in time 💀

I don't know. the images look weird, they resemble me how ai generated photos look.

I remember when we move into another workshop during my apprenticeship. The New build workshop feels strange it had so many corners you don't know what Lay behind and also the design of the building like it wasn't suited for a workshop but move for an office building

If you go in the other building you have a Caféteria and if you go upstairs there is a corridor with rooms but the are not always connected with the corridor but more like this. You go in one room and then on the other side of the room there is another room.

Why is your school so tall? That’s… really dangerous… with the steps on the roof and all…..

oh i forgot a disclaimer! the last pic isnt from my school actually :[ its from an apartment building

Those old mobile phone cameras always had this awesome look. I feel like the low-quality, grainy nature adds that nostalgic look.to anything you're taking a picture of. I will never throw away my old phones just because of this. You can't fake this feel, you can only get it with the real hardware.

I have 4 or 5 old phones with slide-out keyboards, feature phones with cameras. I wonder if they'd be good for this. I should check on them to see how they're doing. So much old technology just sitting around.

The photos almost look like they were created using a software, Blender for example.

Kinda reminds me of the hue and grainy texture that the walking dead used to have, especially the last one.

These are so good, I'm gonna buy a Nokia 130 now

Tarkovsky Polaroids vibe

It was 2007, one hot June day. You had talked to your high school crush earlier today and it made your week. It was the end of day, lessons had ended, as you retrace your steps you walked with that other girl a year ago. Soon, it would be graduation and you wonder what is next

I don’t wanna prod but like which country do you live in, this doesn’t look like a school you’d see in North America
