Aperture Hack

My latest hack to the free Vivitar T100 was to open the front of the camera and ream out the aperture to a larger diameter, in order to get more pronounced lens aberrations. While I was working in there, I also disconnected the hot shoe and semipermanently connected a remote flash cord....

 

The wider aperture give a soft-focus effect like this.

 

Strangely, I notice I'm the only one on Flickr so far to use the tag "reamed to f/4" ;-)
