Newly Inspired at the Cemetery

I spent a couple hours this afternoon harassing a seagull nesting in a urn at the cemetery. She has a couple of very sweet, speckled chicks hidden away in the urn. As I was leaving the scene I got a sudden glimpse of the seagull through a crack in the elder bush and this is the result. I am quite pleased.

Here Jens you have the original.

and then the crop off center. Can't get this blog site to put the photos where I want them embedded in the text. Argh

Digital Pinhole Camera

With the dawn of digital photography experimental photography has begun to dwindle. So how do you experiment with a digital camera in the manner you would have when film was still alive and kicking?

Well, one of my students gave us a tip. Digital pinhole cameras. How does that work?

Put a small hole in your lens cap and focus with manual focus.

You may even be able to increase the effect by cracking the lens turning your digital camera into something of a toy camera with an original thumb print.

any other tips out there? Please share!
