Projects in the works.

Projects:
New video will be posted soon, on making a shutter release lock for the Holga.

I also have received my 35mm film adapter for my Holga and will shooting an out-of-the-box and how-to use video for it soon.

The DIY 35mm film solution has not been forgotten. I shot some video for it, but was unhappy with the results (camera malfunction resulting in a loud buzz in the audio). I need to shoot the clips over again.

Polaroid announcements

A little off-topic for this blog, but newsworthy.

For those of you who shoot Polaroid, some interesting news.

First of all, there's a group on the web that claims to have purchased
some of the integral film production equipment from Polaroid. They
hope to bring back integral film (600 and maybe even Spectra?).

The other bit of news is that Polaroid is going to be launching a new
digital camera with a built in printer. Not quite like an old integral
polaroid, but the possibilities are interesting.

It's a 5mp camera with an LCD screen so that photos can be previewed
before printing. It's a thermal printer, so no ink cartridges will be
necessary, and the paper packs will be significantly cheaper than the
old integral films.

Removing the Diana+ Lens

Removing the Lomography Diana+ lens the first time takes a little bit of elbow grease. If this is the first time that you have removed the lens, it may seem that the lens is not going to move or that it is stuck. What you must do, is grasp the lens barrel very firmly, look at the dots on the barrel of the lens and give a very sharp, but quick twist. The lens only needs to move about a 1/4 inch, and it is only necessary to apply enough force to overcome the initial resistance. Be firm. Once you have removed the lens, it will get easier to remove with use.

Check out the youtube video showing how to do this.
