Confession time. I completely forgot to take a picture yesterday, so this is actually from a few days ago when I was trying out my Holga lens on my Nikon. I fell in love with the incredible depth I got in this shot, and the kind of dream like atmosphere. It is SOOC, with the exception of conversion from RAW.
I ordered a Holga lens for my Nikon last week, and got it in the mail yesterday. I went out shooting with it for the first time for my grad work this afternoon and decided to try out a double exposure with it. This is pretty much SOOC, just a bit of a contrast boost.
For those of you who may not know, a Holga is a cheap, plastic film camera. They have a plastic lens, and are known for their soft focus and heavy vignette. They now make lenses like this that can attach to DSLR cameras. Since my grad work is about Alzheimer’s I thought it would make more sense to be shooting with a lens that distorts and disturbs the images like this instead of getting “perfect” photographs.
On another note…I am finally all caught up.
*Wednesday, October 17
I missed 2 days while I was trying to get caught up and unpacked from my trip. Then I went out to shoot for my grad work, and this was about all I ended up with on Wednesday.
I had to wake up this morning at about 6:30 for class, and I looked outside and saw this. It was crazy windy, and snowing fairly heavily. It was both beautiful and miserable at the same time. Not the best picture I am aware, I needed a tripod but just had time to snap a few pictures.
