Four Chairs
Posted at 8:01 am | Filed Under art, film
Penmax toy camera, generic 200 ISO film. The Penmax is rapidly becoming one of my favorite toy cameras; it’s very similar to the “TIME Magazine” 35mm cameras. Shutter speed is approximately 1/100th second, a 2-blade diaphragm adjusts to f/8, f/11 and f/16 – and makes truly weird bokeh.

Photojojo’s Ultimate Hipstamatic Guide
Posted at 5:32 pm | Filed Under art, digital
Have you downloaded Hipstamatic from the iTunes store yet? It turns your iPhone into a retro camera with a number of effects. There are lens effects, film effects and flash effects that can be layered on top of each other. A HUGE number of effects. Effects with bewildering names, like Kaimal, Helga (we can figure […]

Ciao, digital. Hello, unpredictable art.
Posted at 6:00 pm | Filed Under art, film
From SFGate.com comes this article about the 2010 International Juried Plastic Camera Show at Rayko Photo in Francisco. Plastic cameras are cheap, prone to light leaks and unpredictable. Which is why a lot of photographers are drawn to them in the digital age of pixel counts, precision focus and Photoshop. “You don’t know how the […]

Fire-Water (Happy Accident)
Posted at 6:39 pm | Filed Under art, film
Here’s a happy accident -� I loaded a roll of 36 exposure film. I then (a) thought I was done after exposure 24, and (b) opened the camera back while forgetting to rewind the film first, exposing the film.

Shoehorning a digicam into a Leica M
Posted at 6:30 pm | Filed Under art, digital
Leica has gone nouveau-retro with the digital Leica M series. Other companies, like Vivitar, have come out with digital cameras featuring current tech, but designs reminiscent of retro rangefinder cameras. This retro camera beats them all. The maker shoehorned a Sony DSC-WX1 digital camera into a Leica (or, more accurately, what appears to be a […]

This roll of film sat in my freezer for several years before being shot in my LOMO LC-A+ last year, then it sat in the bottom of my 6 Million Dollar bag for a few more months after that. As a result, I have NO CLUE as to where I shot this. Anyone recognize the […]

Signpost
Posted at 7:00 pm | Filed Under art, film
Recently, I’ve been shot most of my street candids portrait-style. I don’t know where this is coming from, maybe I should buy a square-frame medium format camera to cure myself of this? Or am I just looking for an excuse to buy a Holga, Diana or a Lubitel? Does anyone have a favorite, obscure medium […]

Aiptek Pencam SD — Digital Holga, or a better Digital Harinezumi?
Posted at 6:32 pm | Filed Under art, film, pencam
I took this picture with a Aiptek Pencam SD, a camera I liken to the Digital Harinezumi. The Pencam SD is roughly the same size, and does 1280×960 max resolution (still), and 6-8 frames per second at 640×480. Like the Digital Harinezumi, the Pencam SD has 64MB of built-in memory and an SD card […]

FUN NATURE FDC01, A New “Digital Holga”?
Posted at 9:54 pm | Filed Under art, digital, film
FUZZYEYEBALLS wrote about the “Fun Nature FDC01”, a new toy digital camera. While other camera manufacturers have been beating each other to market with higher megapixel sensors and features, the FDC01 stands apart. It’s a 1.9 megapixel camera with 64 MB on-board memory, SD expansion slot, rechargeable battery, 8 fps “movie” mode, and 3 photo […]

I love being able to carry a single device that plays music, takes still and video pictures, and is small enough to carry with me all the time.

Fun with a Vivitar PN2011 “panoramic” camera
Posted at 5:41 pm | Filed Under art, film
I went out shooting with a Vivitar PN2011, a 35mm panoramic plastic camera. This is probably my favorite plastic camera to date, but I don’t know why. I think it’s big enough, the lens is wide enough, it feels sturdy enough and it’s got a lens cover to protect that $1.00 piece of plastic. They’re […]
