the sea of love

Distracted from doing school work, I decided to make the DIY heart bokeh for my prime lens!
I used left over cardboard from the build it yourself pinhole camera, it took like 2 minutes.

Result:


The effect is that the .. normally circular bokeh would be in heart shapes! It's still bright outside for now.. so this is a picture of my night light in the hallway. lol

Very exciting! I'll maybe take more pictures later when the sky is actually dark :) Yay.

Oh, I've also started shooting in raw format. We'll see how that goes, it eats up memory like no tomorrow but at least I have two fairly large memory cards!

now i can't do any of that here

The Kikkerland Pinhole Camera DIY Kit.
My progress below, it wasn't very simple but I hope I can get at least a few shots from it. I love how the inside already looks worn out but iunno, its just paper so I can't expect much.

Gotta experiment, maybe tomorrow.. I still gotta finish my fisheye roll of film!!

like an apple in a tree, hidden behind the leaves

Went down to Harbourfront the other day, uhh.. yesterday. It was too hot to sit down to enjoy..



Went to cool off at the Power Plant Gallery. Contemporary Art.... very interesting. Some of it is super scary and confusing though.




The Simcoe Wave Deck? Bridge? Newly built this year. It's so damn steep I almost died with flats that have no grip. It's pretty cool though!

Went into Bounty, the store at the actual Harbourfront centre. I picked up a Paper DIY Pinhole Camera kit.
Pictures later when I'm done. It's taken me a few hours and I'm stuck. :( Not very easy :( But the cool thing is .. is that it uses 35mm film! Perfect :)

Dinner at Montana's. Had the Penne with Goat cheese. It was pretty good!! Oh we also ordered Calamari again and it sucked so much. The portion was super small and the sauce was like.. sweet and sour sauce. They weren't even crispy at all.
Dessert and games night at his home :)
