Some snapshots taken with a compact camera during last night’s dinner. It was a great dinner at Brotzeit German bar & restaurant … and after 2 litres of dark beer … it was hard taking any decent photos of the food 😉 Sorry, no photos of the beer as they …
Panda+?
The preorder secret Diana F+ special edition is designed to celebrate Diana’s birthplace – Hong Kong … has arrived! It’s earlier than I expected, since the launch date is tomorrow. Quite a funny color combo and the distance indicator in front of the lens is my favourite … instead of …
Welcome home Mr. XA4
I’ve never regretted selling off any camera until not long ago … when I decided to sell off my Olympus XA and XA4 to a friend. I have totally no problem letting the XA go (I’m not a rangefinder fan) but the XA4 is one I missed lots. Someone probably …
Delicious Dreamer!
This can’t be happening! First it was a yet-to-be-launched pre order of special edition Hong Kong Diana F+ cameras on Lomography Asia and now this? Look at that Dreamer camera … it looks so sweet I could eat it! Oh well, there goes some more money into buying another piece …
貓nalisa : The making of
A friend recently managed to convince me to try painting. It’s something I’ve always wanted to try but never got to start til now. So blindly, I stocked up some tubes of acrylic, brushes and stuff … and decided to share the progress of my first disaster with painting … …
2 cameras, 2 test rolls, few survivors
Two long delayed test rolls on two of my favourite cameras that I found in eBay. First is a Votar Flex made by a company called Haking in Hong Kong. It is a TLR but works more like a Diana/Holga camera. So, it takes away all the ‘pain’ from shooting …
Supersampling
The Supersampler was my first Lomo camera but just like the Fisheye 2, I sold it away ages ago. Then along came the pink Dalek version which made the woman in me wanna get one of ’em to play with again and so fermenting a roll of Kodak 400 film …
Minolta PROD 20’s : Test roll
One roll that took almost forever … a Samsung 200 Prime Color film loaded in a Minolta PROD 20’s that I bought some time ago. Never got to finish that test roll until yesterday. The Minolta PROD 20’s is a fully auto 35mm leaft shutter AF camera with a 1920s …
Fisheye 2 : Re-attempt
It was probably 2 years ago when I bought my first Fisheye 2 camera and gave up (sold it) not long after my first roll then. The roll was a disaster. Nothing’s wrong with the camera … probably it’s just me. When Lomography launched the all-white version of the FE2 …
Now this is what I call WOW!
The first test roll on the Leica CM Zoom (which I traded for with another camera) was quite a disaster. It was a roll of ERA black & white film and strange enough, most of the shots seemed to have a ‘glow’ on them! I was dead worried that it …
