Spinning a lens cap, holding my brand new Canon Rebel XS in my left hand, and not dropping it, and pressing the shutter at the exact right time... ok fine...it was 99% luck. 1% cool idea.
Pinhole. Shot with a crudely made lenscap pinhole. The hole wasn't entirely central, nor was it small enough, but i like this for a first attempt. Those black things are dust spots. Apparently my sensor needs a good cleaning.
Why does this shot have chromatic aberration around the letters?
ISO 640 (no flash), F/4.5 1/60)
Shallow DOF.
A friendly newspicture photographer told me about this trick many years ago. The lens in this picture has a single rear cap, but beside it is an epoxied back-to-back pair. The usefulness will become apparent in the following slides.
My digital rebel provided me an excellent introduction to photography as a hobby, but when it was time for me to upgrade I found myself with the choice between the 30D, 5D, and Nikon D200. They're all great cameras, but the 5D was more than I wanted to spend, and the D200 just felt too good to pass up when I had it in my hand, so Nikon it is.
P.S. I love my new D200, it rocks =)
Shot this with the kit lens, which I've heard nothing but bad things about. Supposedly you can't get good photos out of the D200+18-70 . . . strange, my early efforts with the pair seem pretty sharp to me . . .
Mounting a twinflasch on a "reverse" lens.
Original Minolta twinflash-ring and a cutoff back lenscap.
Looking down from the top of the dome. The hole in the roof where the light shines through is just above my head. On the 16th Dec @ Midday, the light moves across the floor onto the plaque in the middle.
A LensCap Rally at the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria. The LensCap Rally is a day out with a Professional Photographer. There are set tasks and afterwards you can upload your photos to the site and have everyone comment on them. Its a great way to get out for the day, shoot loads of pics at interesting locations and meet other photo-mad people.
Janet got fed up with me taking piccies of her... resulting in the lens cap finding itself be propelled back on to the lens rather forcibly. :-)
Sunshine makes another dash for the camera... perhaps I should remove the ribbon that attaches the lenscap to the camera as for now it is far too enticing.
cwd1221 ~ Digital Pinhole - I'm guessing nobody's done this...or at least almost nobody (myself included). This is a two-part assignment. Your first job is to make a "lens". For part two, use that "lens" to take a photo. There's a promising looking guide here: How To
This is from my first pinhole attempt. I made the lenscap with a larger center hole so I could try different pinhole inserts. This is a piece of tinfoil with a hole made by a small shirt pin. The hole has a visible burr on the backside which I'm sure is detracting from the picture quality.
This one was brought into photoshop and tweaked a large amount from the RAW image. To me, that sort of defeats the purpose of pinhole photography but it does make for better images. Decisions, decisions......
