More from the Vivitar

I've got heaps of photos to scan in! Rather than losing a bunch of sleep, I'm going to pace myself and go three at a time over the next week or so. Enjoy...

35mm

Earlier this month I posted a couple new cams I was excited to try out. Check it out!

Holga 120 | 35mm film:













Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim | 35mm film:













I highly recommend picking up a Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim. They're cheap, very simple/easy to use and take great photos. More Holga and Vivitar pics on my Flickr.

Still scanning, more to come...

tilt-shift photograpy

What are tilt-shift photos? Tilt-shift style photos are pictures of real-life scenes that are manipulated to look like miniature toy-model photographs. My friend Aaron put me onto another cool photo app that does just that.

After testing the TiltShiftMaker photo app with a couple images on my desktop, I couldn't wait to take my camera out and go shoot! Here are a few shots I took during lunch and edited with TiltShift.

Ballin' in Santa Monica, CA. If you haven't noticed yet, the TiltShift app let's you select the area of focus. For this shot, the focus goes right across the middle versus the next pic below where the focus goes straight across the top.

Watch for em!

Here's a good example of how the TiltShift app micro-sizes the subjects making it look like a photograph of a model
