You drank a bottle of wine and started to randomly click stuff in Photoshop?

Richard · July 13, 2007

Gee, George, I have no idea, but try not to do it again.

System · July 13, 2007

I need to do something like this more ofen so that I'll have all these freakin' funny lines for future use-

USAIR · July 13, 2007

Ahhh cool

George have you tried to make a Holga lens for your camera?
This I would like to try.

Here's some links Canon 20D

Cool. So a smaller hole would have given you a sharper image?

well, yes, from what I understand-

but not ready to hang around for 30 minutes for the exposure!-

(although I did not have to expose very long for this shot)-

anyway, neat taking a pic without using a lens-

hah!-

you talking to me or to them-

Frog Lady · July 14, 2007

I read about that technique earlier today - pretty cool. When I 1st saw it, I thought you had drastically oversharpened it . It's fun to explore sometimes.

System · July 14, 2007

thanks c-

a lot of pp on the pic but it was neat to do this w/o the lens on what is basically a very old idea-

Well me for sure.

Say, how did you build a digital pinhole camera?

Edit: Whoops, never mind. Found the link.

What fun! Maybe next time you could try a white body cap with a little red stripe on it...I hear the optics are much better.

Cheers.

Film is usually 1-4 mins from my experience ...i once took one directly at the sun & it was about 1/500 & turned out.

hey gus-

I really don't have much experience with this except for the couple hours I fooled with it yesterday-

I had read a couple articles that was saying anywhere from 1 second to a day (camera obscura?) for exposure times-

e.g., from

http://acept.asu.edu/PiN/rdg/camera/camera.shtml

Suggested exposure times
outside, bright sun: one minute
outside, cloudy: five minutes
inside, sunny window: eight minutes
inside, sunny room: 14 minutes
inside, dim light: 30 to 40 minutes

I had tried a shot indoors for over a minute and realized I was going to have to use a lot longer time to expose than what I was doing-

anyway, it's neat to fool around with-

Yeah...they seem the same as film now that i look. Here is a 4 min exposure of me & my bikes under an awning late afternoon. The whole album.

I will certainly be getting back into it all soon as i have bought a house & have lots of room downstairs under it now. I used to just put a blanket over me to develop...man those chemicals honk !
