Grand Canal Blender
Taken from a vaporetto (water bus) as it travelled down the Grand Canal in Venice. I used a home built BlenderCam which evolved from my pinhole blender cameras. An image is formed on 35mm film which is held in a curved path, such that the effective focal length of the lens gets longer, and the effective aperture gets smaller the further away it is from the centre. By advancing the film to include an overlap, sequential images become blended together. I made the body of BlenderCam at an introductory laser cutting workshop at Access Space, Sheffield. The lens and shutter assembly is scavenged from an old Bierette camera.
I loaded the film with the base layer facing the lens, so the image is formed by light passing through the orange film, giving the so called redscale effect.
