A few weeks ago in class we were given a plastic camera to take photos with. Yes you read that right, a plastic camera. This very high tech camera came with three very technical settings, and three very useful zoom choices.
They were:
* Sunny
* Cloudy
* Partly Cloudy
Zoom:
* 4-6 ft
* 6-12 ft
* 12- infinity
We were to try using this camera, that takes square pictures. It was just for fun. We learned a little about the camera, it is called 'Diana' and was popular in the 70s. It is super light, and super easy to use. The lens is not connected to the view finder, so you have to remember that when lining pictures up (I failed at this, but it was a good thing). The ones that we were using looked ancient. They had tape all over them, and we were told they could have light leaks, which is okay for this project.
We learned how to develop 120 film, instead of our usual 35. We also used fiber based paper instead of our usual RC paper. It was a lot of fun, and I am impressed with how they turned out. Here are 2 out of the 11 that turned out! I hope to print more when I get the chance!
