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 […]

On Lomography
Posted at 11:03 am | Filed Under blog
I’ve known Sarah Zucker for some time through her photography online. her essay, On Lomography echoes many of the sentiments regarding “Lomography” that I’ve been feeling. Other “Lomographers” inspired me to begin capturing intimate and mundane moments in my life on film. I shared my photos on lomo.org and lomo.us, two online bulletin boards, and […]

It’s Not The Photographer, It’s The Camera!
Posted at 7:23 pm | Filed Under blog
I enjoy reading the high end DSLR discussion boards on the internet. Those gearheads go ape over minute differences in “chromatic aberration” and “barrel distortion”. They peep at pixels in Photoshop to see if their lens is able to give them a sharp image blown up to the size of the side of a barn. […]

Homebrew Kodachrome
Posted at 6:05 pm | Filed Under film
This DIY Kodachrome machine (the “Filminator”) was created to produce more film stock after the company discontinued productions. Michael, the creator, notes, “Plastic and goop go in one end, and camera film comes out the other end. This is not a trivial undertaking.” [ DIY film via boingboing ]

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 […]

LOMO’s New Mystery Camera
Posted at 12:45 pm | Filed Under film, lomo
@lomography has been all (ahem…) atwitter about a mystery camera announcement this week. The folks at Tongue in Chic seem to have blown the lid off of the announcement of the Diana Mini, a half-frame/full-frame 35mm version of the cult classic Diana plastic camera.

Miroslav Tichy, redux
Posted at 12:03 am | Filed Under art, film
Miroslav Tichy is a reclusive artist who has resided in his hometown of Kyjov, Czech Republic, for most of his life. Born in 1926, he was a painter until the late 1960s, when he started taking photos, mostly of local women sunbathing, using equipment that he built himself. The cameras are made of cardboard, bottle […]

Exposure-Mat, a free light meter (no batteries required!)
Posted at 7:54 pm | Filed Under film, journal
I’m a big fan of the Sunny 16 Rule for determining exposure. Print film is forgiving enough that you don’t always have to get the exposure *exactly* right to get a good shot. The”Sunny 16″ rule, paraphrased, says, “Set the shutter speed to the reciprocal of the film speed, and set the aperture to f/4 […]
