Merry early Christmas to me! L got me a new Lomography camera: the Sprocket Rocket! It's a panoramic camera. With a 24 exposure roll, I get 11 shots. It's been a hilarious film experiment.
The good people at my local Costco photo lab, God bless their souls, don't really know what to do with my film. I mean, they at least develop it correctly. Printing is a different story. After researching some options over Google and YouTube, I've come up with a process that sort of works.
I lay the film on top of my light box.
Then I take a picture of it with my iPhone and e-mail it to the iPad (I do not trust the iCloud because I am iParanoid).
And then I revert the image using the PS Express and/or PhotoForge2 apps. So I'll probably continue to get my film developed at Costco and have normal prints done. Then flip the rolls from the Sprocket Rocket digitally. DIY in 2013!
I love how those big cameras look!! I feel like I'm in the Janet Jackson video "Alright" and my flash bulb explodes. Sho'nuff!
ReplyDeleteI bet you could tweak the end result more in Photoshop. Does Lena or anyone have it there? Still fun outcomes though! More more more!!!
I don't really know how to use Photoshop. I stop tweaking (what?) when I'm too tired and too frustrated to tweak any more. Tweaker. Twerker.
