You drank a bottle of wine and started to randomly click stuff in Photoshop?

Ahhh cool

George have you tried to make a Holga lens for your camera?
This I would like to try.

Here's some links Canon 20D (http://www.makezine.com/blog/archive/2006/05/how_to_homemade_holga_on_a_can.html)

Cool. So a smaller hole would have given you a sharper image?

well, yes, from what I understand-

but not ready to hang around for 30 minutes for the exposure!-

(although I did not have to expose very long for this shot)-

anyway, neat taking a pic without using a lens-

I read about that technique earlier today - pretty cool. When I 1st saw it, I thought you had drastically oversharpened it . It's fun to explore sometimes.

What fun! Maybe next time you could try a white body cap with a little red stripe on it...I hear the optics are much better. :wink

Cheers.

Film is usually 1-4 mins from my experience ...i once took one directly at the sun & it was about 1/500 & turned out.

hey gus-

I really don't have much experience with this except for the couple hours I fooled with it yesterday-

I had read a couple articles that was saying anywhere from 1 second to a day (camera obscura?) for exposure times-

e.g., from

http://acept.asu.edu/PiN/rdg/camera/camera.shtml

Suggested exposure times
outside, bright sun: one minute
outside, cloudy: five minutes
inside, sunny window: eight minutes
inside, sunny room: 14 minutes
inside, dim light: 30 to 40 minutes


I had tried a shot indoors for over a minute and realized I was going to have to use a lot longer time to expose than what I was doing-

anyway, it's neat to fool around with-

Yeah...they seem the same as film now that i look. Here is a 4 min exposure of me & my bikes under an awning (http://wadjelaphotography.smugmug.com/photos/221235-L-1.jpg) late afternoon. The whole album (http://wadjelaphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/7096#244778).

I will certainly be getting back into it all soon as i have bought a house & have lots of room downstairs under it now. I used to just put a blanket over me to develop...man those chemicals honk !
