Fuck Yeah New Cameras!

Yesterday was an AWESOME mail day.  Two cameras that I had ordered off the internet finally arrived.  Ahhh, patience is a virtue.

First off I want to introduce you to my new partner in crime, the Lomo Fish-Eye.


Ain't she a beauty?  And can you see how it sparkles?  Oh yes, I love me some sparkles.  This camera already lives in my purse and so far it's been on a few adventures.  I'll post some photos at the end of this...

My second camera is....(drum roll).... my 1970s Nikon FM SLR!!!  

I am SO happy I found this camera.  It's awesome.  The seller was kind enough to through in some film, batteries, and a camera strap.  Sweet deal!  I've been tinkering around with this for the past day now, no film developed yet.  Believe it or not, I had never operated an SLR before this.  Brendan had to show me how to use it!  It's a blast to take photos with, though.  I plan on buying some lenses for it VERY soon.

So, needless to say I'm a happy camper at the moment.

I got my first roll of film developed with the Fish-Eye, here are some of the shots that came out...

Driving...
Dammit Brendan, what did I tell you about doing the duckface?!
Highway to Hell...err, Edmonton.
Jack's Drive-Thru, home of the best burgers in Spruce Grove!
Bad case of the om-noms.
Brendan's brother ordered the Sufferin' Bastard.
Malaysian Food! THE BEST.

Later gators,

I was ready to sign up for my own fish-eye for those awesome sparkles alone (who would have thunk...glitter on a camera...genius!) but then I saw the pics it takes...FUN!!! Enjoy your new toys.

I've been rocking my fisheye lately too! I'll have them developed by next week. Stay tuned, maybe this time they won't all be all weird and dark, haha. (I used the flash every time...fingers crossed!)

Erin D said...

What I've noticed with my fish eye is the lens gets in the way of the flash, so the bottom right corner is always dark.... :(
