DigiLomo

Crafty and Simple, I just love this fun project by Joel Pirela. He has tried to recreate the tactile and unpredictable quality of a lomography camera using a custom built digital case. The photos are just how you would expect, gorgeous results that are blurry with light leaks. Below is an example of these soft focus photographs.

This project proves that you can build your own digicam. The only problem with this custom built case is that you need to unscrew the whole bottom plate to remove and recharge the batteries or get the SD card.. but Joel plans to adapt this using USB portals.

You can see the project here at Unplugged.

I am looking forward to see how they develop these DIY digilomo cameras in the future.

Toy Cameras

We recently bought this book as a birthday present for my friend Steph and once I got some birthday money for myself I couldn't resist buying myself a copy. I have been looking at photography so much recently as it was the main focus of my self directed study. This book celebrates tot cameras ability to produce creative and unusual photography. Im really excited to get my hands some some of the cameras listed and experiment myself!

Finished Motion Piece!

I have finally finished my motion piece! One thing ticked off my list for deadline!Through the Viewfinder is an exploration into photographic processes and the development of technology. The project focuses on looking at ways to change traditional photographic methods into digital pieces. The experiment shows a documentary being played from a laptop through four different lenses to show the transition from traditional cameras to digital.

Lomography spinner 360°

I really want to get one of these amazing new cameras. Its a 360° panoramic 35mm film based camera. Most panoramic cameras have a 120° perspective, so the photographs taken with the lomography spinner look extremely stretched and distorted. I have been looking on the internet and found some really beautiful photographs taken from these cameras. These cameras look really fun and experimental. http://www.lomography.com/
