sorry about my absence! i was on a wild adventure to banff and then i came back to heike having vacation time so we went on an internet hiiatus. i have a backlog of stuff, but (unlike my normal self) i posted stuff to facebook which i think you will have seen. so i guess i will just start posting stuff that i make from today instead of trying to reach into the archives and bore you with double postings. i am going to be working with all the stuff i made in banff in the days to come anyway, so there will be lots of posting ahead with banff material. i have missed you fair blog!
xo
anyway, on to a post....
these are a few images i got from an experiment with a pinhole lens someone at the banff centre lent to me. it is pretty hard to use with any accuracy and the little squiggle seems unmovable, which would be fine because it looks kind of neat, if only it wasn't always in the exact same spot. anyway, it was fun to mess around with. i would like to try it when i have a good subject to photograph. can you see the portrait of a dog barking at me in the second image?? spooky devil dog!
i was told that it might mess up my camera a bit, so i waited till i got home to try it on my old D-SLR. i don't know what it will do to it, but i figured i would heed the warning, still hoping it doesn't mess with the 20D much either though.
ooooo pinhole! freaky ghost dog! bark! squiggles!

kingsmill!
ReplyDeleteYAY, Becky is back! I don't understand this pinhole thing, other than it seems to make things ghostly. Tell me more...
ReplyDeleteoh yeah! the pinhole lens is literally a piece of plastic tubing mounted on a camera body cap with a piece of metal on the outside open end with a pin-hope in it so that that is the only thing that lets light in. in theory with a pin-hole camera everything is in focus because the aperture is so small. but that is not the case here for some unknown reason. and that is a pinhole lens. sometimes people make entire cameras out of tin cans etc. i know i made one in high-school out of a Gin box from the LCBO.
ReplyDeleteAh this helps, now I understand.
