A toy camera….
A week or so ago I got a Diana F+ camera via the mail.
This is a so called Lomo or Toy camera that shoots 120 film, and because I’m a medium format shooter I have my fridge full of that stuff, so I decided to load a roll and test the camera, in this blog post the first weird, wicked and downward strange results. I’m not sure if I like them to be honest. Something went wrong with the film, but that’s fixed now. In a time were we try to emulate vintage looks it’s always fun to shoot with a camera that gives you that look out of the box, but again….. I don’t yet know if I like it, have to test some more I guess…. ok it’s addictive.
The model in the shots is Corine, and they were shot in between sessions in a workshop.
Oh, almost forgot, I have to crop differently as you can see here, when I shot it I never realized that what you see is not what you get so I cropped of too much from the top, better “luck” next time so to speak 😀
Feel free to show links to your favorite limo shots.
Hi Frank, … if i’m not mistaken it seems that this toy camera is also taking mirror shots…. I do remember from the Scott Kelby seminar that this model has a piercing in her lip on her right side (viewers point of view) … and now it’s on the left side 😉
Nice to see. In antwerp i bought a diana lens set with an adapter for my canon 5d markIi. Did nothing with it yet. Butwill do.
Sounds like fun, looking forward to the results.
It’s not the camera, it’s during the scanning I flipped the negatives I think. I can flip them afterwards, but did not do it here, bit stressed for time.
amputated heads-sounds like a parallax effect from close up shots framed through the viewfinder
Correct, big mistake didn’t think about it.
Its the slr – makes us forget older techniques
For some 😀
Hey Frank, that looks nice; something for me as well for I’ve a fridge full of roll film that I haven’t used for a long, long time 😉
It would also be fun for landscapes I think or street or….. 🙂
