Recesky $50
Cheap but still Good
To be frank, I got this "Cheap" Lomo / Pinhole camera during the mist of a lecture.
All because of Gian : The need to buy something out of the yearn for one.
I blame it on a photo enthusiast classmate of mine that was sitting beside me.
After traveling over the China Seas and Three weeks of waiting, I finally saw the light of the camera.
Using a Lomo Slide 50-200
I wanted to give this TLR (Twin Lens Reflex) a try.
My goodess, 5mins with this I had a sore thumb trying to move the focusing lens.
Bring this film for developing, I really hoped to get an image out that I would be satisfied with.
Who would know, that it turns out to also be my first film double exposure shot!
I standing at the void deck of a High Rise watching the birds fly pass.
Wanting to attempt a double exposure, I took a simple shot a building at the corner of the building.
Then I positioned the corner of the building at the bottom and waited for the bird.
THANK GOD, after a long wait one finally came by and WA LA.
Using a TLR for the first time, it was definately not an easy task.
The idea of having to compose from the mirror heads down and the movement took a while to get used to. However, the softness and somewhat unexpected "Feeling" it creates is something that kept the shot "Alive". All in all, its definately something that I would continue to explore.
Thanks for reading :)
