new life for an old camera
« on: July 15, 2010, 04:41:03 AM »
I picked up a pinhole lens for my hassy, gaffer taped a diana lens over the pinhole and am in heaven.  I haven't had this much fun since picking up the Diana again 6 or 7 years ago.

My ceremonial 1st shot with a new gadget: an echinacea plant in my garden (I shoot it every two weeks anyway, something about the life cycle of that specific plant intrigues me.

They look fantastic Gregor...! it's like expired polaroids, the second shots reminds me TTV photography as well.

Thanks !  Well, these shots are expired polaroids - type 665. The pola back for the hasselblad has somewhat rounded corners - never thought of a TTV comparison before, but now that you mention it I can see that. It's the lack of a good clean washing that makes them a bit weathered. Plus the RGB scan...
