दिर्टी Diana

So I tried to title this Dirty Diana but blogger changed dirty to all ?. That's really funny. I guess its some sort of parental control or something (In case it does it again the title is a Michael Jackson song and something that happens to you when you roll around in DIRT) I never figured blogger for a prude.

Anyways I've been experimenting with my Diana+ camera. For those of you who don;t know what a Diana+ is it's a reissue of an old camera from the 70s ish that was a really cheap plastic camera that took amazing, upredictable pictures on 120 film. The reissue is not so cheap but still plastic and amazing. I was thinking of buying a Holga (I missed my old one) but stumbled across the Diana which is by the same people who make the Holga. It has a few more features and can be a pinhole camera. Here it is in all it's glory:




Anyway I've loved it with the 120 film (yes can you believe people still use film) but I've seen these really cool pictures taken with a Holga and 35mm film where the picture actually goes beyond the sprocket holes. I decided to try and modify my camera to take 35mm and it's been really fun. Anyway here are some results:









Anyways I'm pleased with them so far. I think they're interesting. I got a fisheye lens for it and I'm excited to see how that goes. I'll post more pictures when I get them.
