I've been playing with self portraits again, using all the techniques I've been learning over the past couple years. This uses a projector pointed at me, a star filter, and a reptile fogger i had wrapped around a boom stand to pour onto me.
My 50mm f/1.2 projector lens mounted on a helicoid & focused to infinity. Lot's more extension available
Hidden and decaying above an amusement arcade In Batley, West Yorkshire is the former Regent Picture House. Above a suspended ceiling are the remains of the old cinema, built just after the end of the Great War in 1919. Originally it could hold 800+ patrons who would have paid to see the films of the day.
Today, it is derelict; its projectors and spools of film left in the projection room. Although the tiered flooring remains in the circle, many of the seats have long gone. Two rows of original seats are left. The ornate plaster work of the ceiling remains as do wonderful traces of the old cinema.
Plans are in the pipeline to convert the upstairs of the venue, but keeping many of the original features.
Early film projectors, camera and poster, from Continuous Performance: Going to the Cinema a Hundred Years Ago, an exhibition marking the centenary of cinema-going in Britain held at the University of Kent, Oct-Nov 2009. Items are from the Nicholas Hiley collection.
This is what happens when part of the upper extension slips, falls, and pinches one's finger. Ouch.
And my phone's no good at macro shots.

Actually, this doesn't look like it has any means to project. Maybe it's just a rewinder. Anyone know?
Projector lenses compared. I was lucky to get a box full and did not pay ebay prices for each one. Looking for ring bokeh and other qualities. Focus is like free lensing due to a quick mount set up, tilting changed the frame and amount of out of focus. white balance is wildly differing on a couple of frames, only +,- 100 on others and as you can see the back light changes gradually.
edit note: I found the sharpness to be disappointing on most. I prefer modern lens resolution but the older lenses have imperfect qualities that can be attractive and feel real
Experimental shot with a Lastolite Strobo Gobo Projector, using the parallel lines gobo. The light was provided by 2x Lastolite stripboxes with 580EXII on remote manual mode, controlled and triggered by Hahnel Viper radio controller.
The Gobo'ed main light is a 600EX-RT in E-TTL mode. It took many frames to get the lines where I wanted them. Thanks to Laura for her patience.
These are the still in tact projectors at the Sutton Motor In. The massive stone entryway to this (now abandoned) Drive In is what brought it its notoriety.

This 35mm 1920s film projector is on display at the Museum of Transport & Technology...Auckland 31/01/15
This projector was sitting in the lobby of the theatre in town that shows independent films. It was such an interesting machine; thought I'd see if I could capture it.
