This release fixes a problem that would be experienced by anyone with a large number of works.
New Toy: 38mm Super-Wide Lens for the Diana+
Yesterday I took delivery of a new toy from Lomography. Actually, two new toys, both connected to my Diana+. One of them was the 38mm super-wide lens:
It’s a nice little package. Not only do you get the lens, you get a viewfinder (the black gadget you see fixed to the top of the camera) and a bag to keep it all in. The viewfinder is very handy because, as well as still allowing you to comp…
First Test of the Diana+
A couple or so weeks back I finally got the chance to put a roll of Fuji Provia 400X through my new Diana+. It’s taken a while to get the images processed (strikes on the part of the Royal Mail partly got in the way, but I was also slow doing the processing at my end too) but I finally have the results up on my website:
I’m very please with the results. I’…
New Toy: Lomography Diana+
I tried to resist. Really, I did. But ever since I got my Holga 120GN there’s been a part of me that’s kept nagging the rest of me about looking at the Diana+. Just for kicks. Just for extra toy-camera fun.
Last week I cracked:
I just got a new delivery of Fuji Provia 400X so hopefully, in the next week or two, I’ll get some time to take it out for a spin and shoot a test roll …
A new site and a book
Most people who might be close to interested will already know of it, but on the off chance: I’ve got a new(ish) site on the go and a book to go with it.
Recent Holga Photographs
Recently I put another two rolls of Fuji Provia 400X through my Holga 120GN. They’ve both been processed and scanned (once again thanks to to my friendly Scottish landscape photographer for the scanning) and the results have been uploaded to my site:
Second Outing With the Opteka 0.20x Fisheye Conversion Lens
After my very quick test of my new fisheye conversion lens the other night, I was impatient to give it a better test. Last Saturday afternoon had great weather and great skies so I put the fisheye on my EOS 400D and took a walk up to Birthorpe and back.
Here is the result:
New Toy: Opteka 0.20x Fisheye Conversion Lens
Ever since I got to play with one back in the 1980s (using it on my Zenit 11), I’ve wanted a fisheye lens of my own. Trouble is, they’re generally expensive, especially given the limited use they have.
And then, a couple or so weeks back, while browsing for something else on Amazon, I stumbled on the Opteka 0.20x Fisheye Conversion Lens:
It turned up yesterday and, last night, just a…
Seen by Me -- An experiment with video slide shows
For a long time now I’ve wanted to have a go at creating a video slide show. While I did have a quick dabble with Animoto a while back, and while it was fun, it wasn’t quite what I had in mind.
I’ve wanted to be able to take a piece of music, ideally an instrumental, and try and weave my images around it. To this end I’ve spent some time, over the months, looking for instr…
