i made a light, i walked into the woods, i shined it on things, and took lots of pictures.
Driving home from a friends house late Thursday night i noticed this green shed all alone at the edge of a baseball field, so i stopped and spent a little time exploring.
Last winter i decided to give my old holga new life, by first killing it… then modifying its lens to attach to my 5D. All it took was a body cap, some pvc fittings and a little pipe cement. The result..
(crappy cell phone picture) It now has more focusing options then it originally had.
While i was working on the lens i was taking test shots the whole time, (to check focus and how long the lens barrel had to be…). Here are some of the shots that i really liked. I put them together as a triptych. The bottom shot was the first step with just a pin hole in the body cap, the other two shots are at various stages throughout the build.
Now i can add a little bit of plastic randomness to any shot, whenever i like.
I have been waiting for over two months to photograph this house with the idea of doing something a bit abstract with it. I originally planned to shoot it at night under a full moon, but missed the moon two months in a row for various reasons (weather/vacation..). On mothersday I drove by it and the light was pretty much perfect, by the time I got back to the location with my camera it was even better.
Its been raining for three days. The water’s rising.
Not in use, but not forgotten. Four shots from today. It was a good day.
