About I found a toy camera in the window of a local Salvation Army store. It was a lime green plastic no name thing. I had no idea if it would work, explode in my hand or what.
I raced to my studio and loaded it with some B&W film and went off to shoot with it.

Out of 36 exposures 7 were usable. At least now I know it's limitations and I can work around those.

Thought I would post one to see what people think.
The image is of the Waikato river that flows through the centre of Hamilton city.

Had to laugh when i read the about because i always look at cheap cameras at thrift stores,but haven't made a purchase yet because i recently got a holga and don't want to get too scattered which easily happens when i have too many toys..LOL..anyway, this turned out nicely and to my eye it looks like it has 2 tones going on...looks like a holga in many ways...nice reflections and like the water texture...i get a cold and very alone feeling from this image the longer i look at this...regards,gayle

Hey Carlheinz

Thanks for your comments mate. The colours in the photo I think come from the B&W film being a C41 process as well as the quick scan that I did of it. I like it though.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Linda

Thanks for your words. I too thought it had a lonley feel to it as well. The vignetting in this image is a result of the cheap lens on the camera.

The vignetting that I have used in previous images such as my Tokanui sries is all done in photoshop. The process is as follows.

Make a new layer. On that layer I use the eliptical marquee tool. Clicking and dragging diagonally across the image to make a selection I then invert the selection so the outer edge of the image is selected.

I then add a curves adjustment layer dragging down to make the selection darker. This will leave a sharp defined edge so you need to add a Gaussian blur to the layer mask to soften the edge. The result is a nice vignette.

With the 20D if you shoot in raw the raw conversion app in photoshop will also let add a vignette. I don't know how well you know photoshop but if you have problems understanding the procedure send me an email and I will give you a more detailed walkthrough.

Mark :-)

I like that a lot, as you might imagine. Not sure how you get this colors out of a B&W. As always every camera and especially toy cams have to used for certain conditions/subject/etc. That's the art and challange IMHO. Excellent!
