Hipstamatic Disposable update 9 – the El Mario camera
Desaturated. Orange Light Leaks. A Sort-Of Interesting Border. If I start up another one of these, I’ll be turning the light leaks off and shooting with B/W and that neat border in mind… But that’s a big if. Take the 99 cents you were going to spend on this camera and go bury it in …

I took about 20 multiple exposures (60 shots) holding the SB-700 with a …
365.40 Multeh Bokeh
On with my experiments in multiple exposure. This time: testing what happens when multiple exposures meet shallow depth of field. I started out with a still life of sorts, but quickly noticed that these beads made some great bokeh, so I got rid of everything else and focused on the beads. Or, rather, focused on …
