Diana’s Christmas
I guess it pays off to write a wish-list for Christmas. This is the first year in a long time that I wrote a list. It’s actually an “all-year” list, and not just for Christmas.
And of course, everything on it was photography related!
A few of the things that were on the list, and that I was fortunate enough to get, were OHP Transparency Paper, The Darkroom Cookbook, Third Edition
The books are awesome. If you haven’t read them, I would highly recommend you check them out.
Now, the Diana.
As you may know, I’ve been doing a lot of experimental photography in the darkroom. I’ve made a pinhole camera out of a coffee can, done solargraphy, developed both film and prints using coffee, and even made some digital negatives.
With the addition of the Diana, I can now enjoy lomography! And because I just couldn’t wait any longer, I put some Ilford Delta 100 film in her and started taking pictures. The Diana F+ includes a flash, colored gels, 2 masks (for 16 shots and panoramic shots), and a pinhole setting. Everything I need in one plastic camera!
Once I was done with the roll of film, I decided to develop it once again using coffee. (If you haven’t done this before, check out my post on how to do it – Caffenol – Developing Film with Coffee).
The negative came out a little light without much contrast. But I scanned them anyway and tweaked them a little in Photoshop.
And so here they are, in no particular order:
