No camera movement.
No zoom adjustment.
No Photoshop blur.
Just one of my homemade lenses defocused and tilted.
a DIY Macro diffuser thats been a better idea than my other card one lol, its a thin white plastic bowl, i cut a hole in the bottom and the Raynox lens holds it tightly in place.
Cheap too :-)
This outfit is entirely made with patterns from the book "Sewing clothes for Barbie" - leggings, crop top and kimono. I just took the patterns and tweaked them a little bit - didn't add the ruffles on the top and instead of raincoat, made a kimono. All the patterns in that book are in all 4 sizes -original, petit, curvy and tall. Really awesome book and easy to follow instructions.
A trip to DIY store, B&Q, often brings opportunities for a selfie! Here's the base of a table lamp, beautifully reflective for the Sunday Selfie group!
Do not try this at home.
That van Gogh moment.
Otoplasty — also known as cosmetic ear surgery — is a procedure to change the shape, position or size of the ears.
Maybe DIY brain surgery next.
What happens when your vertical alignment is out on your Leica M8? You can either send it to Solms, get an experienced RF techie to do it or you DIY. I opted for the latter for the sake of time and the fact that some RF techies didn't want to touch it. So, I bought a the Zhou vertical tool (http://cgi.ebay.com/Vertical-Line-Focus-Adj-Tool-F-Leica-M4-2-M4p-M6-M7-MP-/170399164715?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item27ac94e92b#ht_2091wt_940) and fixed it myself. According to the description of the tool, it doesn't cater for the M8/M9, but it does actually work with the M8 (and I assume the M9).
Although I look a bit spack-handed with DIY in the YouTube videos, but I've fixed the Epson R-D1S alignments myself so I thought the M8 couldn't be much harder. The only tough part was getting the Leica badge off, which was a bit of a toughie. What you have to do is to repeatedly push it clockwise then anti-clockwise until the glue underneath it gives way. I would advise using a plastic object (something that won't scratch) to push under the left side of the "L" and then under the right side of the tail of the "L". Finally, it will slide off, revealing bits inside. It's a bit dark inside, but shine a bright light and you can make out where the hole is. This is a special tool that fits into the slot. Some would recommend using acetone (nail polish remover) to loosen the glue up a bit so you can make the amendments.
P.S. If you are not confident in doing it, then I would strongly recommend taking it to someone who knows what they are doing. One really needs to be quite delicate with it as it's easy f*ck it up. I did it because I am chi sin.
I've acros this idea on a creative blog online and LOVED the idea so much I wanted to make it for our home.
So this weekend was all about DIY and this is the end result!

These tools are sparingly used. DIY is not really my forte, and I prefer to use my hard-earned income to pay a professional to do jobs properly. I don't even know what the thing on the right is (don't worry; I don't really want to know).
