movie with lensbaby

I got new “Lensbaby” SLR Camera lens. Lensbaby’s features is here. – the center is forcused, and peripheral part is off-forcused. – tilt the lens, and you can choose forcused point in your image. That’s used for toy-camera effect image, miniature faking effect and more unique expression. The lens is for SLR Camera. But I put it on my Camcorder. New model “Lensbaby composer”, is easier the tilt control than previous product. And that’s controlable when recording a movie. I made some test movies. And that’s just a test. juri-san test buildings test all the tests I should be careful not to jiggle my hand, and keep clean the lens […]

Cheapen soft light

Last night I took Juri-san’s pictures. When you take a picture, if you light an object directly, the object got a high light and heavily shade. But I wanted to use more soft light and shade. Usually for the purpose, Diffuser is used but it’s very expencive. My motive was to know my needs to use a such as expencive products or not. I putted a cheap white umbrella (instead of the expencive Diffuser) in front of my Flash Unit. The way looks so good :-) But Juri-san looks so bad.

small planet at Tokyo Midtown

This week, most of the japanese peoples take public holidays. and the week is called “Golden Week”. A Lot of the peoples come to Roppongi, I wanted to take their picture. I tryed to follow Naoki Honjo-san’s “miniature fictional world”. But he use special “tilt” lens, that’s for Professional Archtect Pictures and too expensive. I used LOMO SMENA 8M lens and holded it in front of my camera by my finger. And tilted down it. This is Hinoki-machi park at back side of Tokyo Midtown buldings. Here!

EOSMENA 8M ( LOMO Lenz )

I got broken LOMO SMENA 8M Camera and picked up the lenz. And I tryed to put it to my EOS SLR Camera.(focedly) that’s it! The contrast is narrow and the colour looks a little strange. Typically I said, Russian lenz have a considerable individual variability. But It may be the taste of LOMO camera. and edited by digital. The sharpness is so high, against the expection :-) when I succeed to adjust the focus. That’s Juri-san looks so spewing, she wanted to sleep but I stayed awake yet and took her picture, may be.
