Through the Lens: types&effEctS.

 

Fancy meeting you here. What a coinky-dink!!!

Do you want to know how different cameras can have different effects on a photograph? Hmm? Or what about different printing styles? Yes??? YAY! You're such good cartwheelers. 

The Dina.

Ever heard of it? I'm sure you have. I love these little guys... Even though they aren't the professional digital {WHO CARES!!} they make some of the COOLEST images. Wanna see? 

Told ya. Aren't these beautimous? These lovelies came from HERE.

How about the Holga pinhole camera?

Aren't these great?!? Well, that's all i have for you today. Thanks for stopping by. JUST KIDDING. Did you actually think I wasn't going to show you any of my work??? You did didn't you. Hmm. Have some faith, will you?!? :) 

I loooooove trying news things especially when it comes to photography. I like to dip it, dunk it, squish it, cut it, color it, and anything else you can think of when it comes to distorting {or as I like to think} ENHANCING the photograph. 

These images were printed on thick {almost like cardstock} paper that had a linen texture. First I had to coat each piece of paper {in almost pitch blackness because if the paper was exposed to light then it would be ruined} and then wait for the paper to dry before i could actually print on it. The chemicals I used were called something like liquid light. I'm not sure if that was the technical name for it but that's what i called it.

I'm blue daba dee da... wait. Flash back to 1999... OKay, moving on. These images are called cyanotypes. You can probably get this effect with the iphone now however these are actually blood, sweat and tears people. This is how do say... the real mcCoy!

Thanks for tuning in with me today. I hope that y'all go out and get adventurous with your photog'ing. :) You'll be glad you did... promise. 

I would love to know what kind of things you've dabbled in. Have you purchased a Diana camera? Ever used a pinhole before? Hmm. Please comment... if you want. no pressure. 

cheerio darlings,
