Fun with Fisheye ....... And home developing





All the above images were taken with my Lomography fisheye camera , developed using a Paterson Super System 4 developing tank , then scanned in as I do not as yet have the time / space or knowledge to make actual prints ...... But that is to come I hope when I get more of the above


It seems sometimes that people are finding hobby photography less accessible as they feel that they need to spend £1000's on equipment to get the right image ( Usually fueled by the countless photo interest magazines that claim the new camera as featured will change everything .)  That is totally untrue and if you are obsessed by equipment maybe Photography should not be your thing. The above images were very inexpensive to obtain and develop and they may not be the best quality but I had a lot of fun making them


My philosophy is as long as you are having fun doing what you are doing then if you have no money to spend or £1000's then it doesn't matter . I personally enjoy the challenge of getting interesting images from old / cheap equipment ( When I get time I hope to experiment with some pinhole cameras )

Ah well. I've left the images as fairly large files . As usual click to enlarge

Met this little fluffy friend today hopping down a small back road on the edges of Clocaenog Forrest . To be honest if the breaks on the car weren't up to scratch he may well have become just another rabbit roadkill  statistic 

Both of the bottom images were taken from the same distance but the first image is only a few mil out but what a difference in quality
