spydrxx Posted August 19, 2023 Share #4 Posted August 19, 2023 IMHO just kind of "kitchy", don't think I'd call it art, although a talented artist could probably turn it into some sort of art. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just like there are people who enjoy Stockhausen or Alan Shorter, there will be folks who consider this epochal. I can only imagine there must be some states of mind where these unfocussed, blurry images do something for some people. Maybe an improvement on Rohrschach tests? Proud to be a culture vulture.

The LC-Wide is a really fun camera to use for that, as is any old roll film camera that does not have auto film indexing. As attached. Welcome, dear visitor!

adan Posted August 19, 2023 Share #7 Posted August 19, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) "I doubt this can be done with a digital camera." Wanna bet? (You did not specify "no Photoshop".) You've set me a challenge. Can I capture not only the overall technique, but also the stochastic layering of tones, colors and content? Nevertheless, some very nice pieces with the Holga (both in the link, and posted above). The "Hussorama" of the pink skateborder is especially interesting.

Huss used the Lomo LC-Wide for the two presented above your response. Yes I’d be interested to see your photoshop compilation to compare with in-camera.

charlesphoto99 Posted August 19, 2023 Share #10 Posted August 19, 2023 That camera actually looks really fun, and I like @Huss pics. We used to play with all kinds of stuff like that, with Horizons etc. But with the price of film and processing these days, oof... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good, but by contrast the LC-Wide can describe the passage of ‘time’, eg Huss’s pink skateboarder above, on one strip of negative. Layering in PS is a different matter. I find cameras in general are not good recording instruments for the passage of time, but good for recording instances of time, a ‘snapshot’ in time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huss Posted August 20, 2023 Share #13 Posted August 20, 2023 I like the photoshop layered shots, but the idea and application is so different. When you use a film camera you are committed at that moment, and to me that makes it more challenging, more creative and more satisfying. Grabbing a bunch of images in post and letting the computer do it is not so rewarding to me. And frankly not so interesting. Seeing it there on that strip of film with no manipulation? That's my marmalade.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incorrect. "You" don't have to take any pics because someone already did it for you. While you use AI to then generate whatever you think you might like. By using film, your intention is completely deliberate at the time of capture. You essentially are creating the piece of work in realtime with you having to be there determining exactly what the result is at that moment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
