Took the Chuzhao mini Hasselblad toy camera on my coffee break 🤎 ☕️ #ToyCamera #Photography #Wales #VintageVibes

A dense cluster of tree branches covered in small pale blossoms, silhouetted against a cloudy sky, with an aged, slightly sepia-toned look.

A moody black-and-white landscape showing a small town among dark trees, with a single light-colored house standing out on a hillside. Rolling hills stretch into the distance beneath a pale, cloudy sky.

Coffee and plants! The perfect combination 🪴 ☕️ #ToyCamera #Photography #Llandudno #plants

A bright indoor space filled with hanging and trailing green plants. Wooden floors, plant stands, and a wicker chair create a calm, garden-like atmosphere. A few people sit at tables in the background, surrounded by greenery.

More from my Debonair #toycamera, Lomochrome Metropolis. Looks like histogram stretching does a good job preserving the unique color of this film. Light leaks are from my stupid mistake: I tried to attach the second roll of 120 film onto the tape of the first roll, and turns out I failed to load the second roll. It was still in the dark bag after I opened it to take the Paterson tank out to develop the first roll. Anyway, light leaks go well with the lomo vibe. #shittycamerachallenge #lightleak #subwaystation #lomography #lofi #filmphotography #analogphotography #believeinfilm #darktable #streetphotography #nyc

Since Harman Phoenix 200 has high contrast, then why not use it to enhance contrast of a low contrast scene? It worked. I did histogram stretching in #darktable and did not adjust contrast. #filmphotography #analogphotography #believeinfilm #streetphotography #shittycamerachallenge #toycamera #nyc

Harman Phoenix 200 (the first version with orange box), shot with Debonair #toycamera. Everything I read about this film is true. It has high contrast, high saturation, low dynamic range, halation, funky colors, and high grain. So much grain that I can readily see them in the scans of 120 film. Looks like it does something funky in underexposed areas which goes well with the Debonair lofi vibe. Harman Phoenix's official datasheet says it's a pain in the ass to scan this film and it's 100% true. #shittycamerachallenge #filmphotography #streetphotography #analogphotography #believeinfilm #mediumformat #120film #darktable #lomography #lofi #nyc #grainisgood

2 more toy cameras to add to the collection! I know the image quality won’t be great but that’s the whole point I guess ☺️ #ToyCamera

This Teeny-Tiny Retro-Inspired Camera Is So Darn Cute https://petapixel.com/2026/02/11/this-teeny-tiny-retro-inspired-camera-is-so-darn-cute/ #haruminiretrocamera #cheapcamera #Equipment #toycamera #camera #News #cute

I have just completed my BW film development kit, and this is the first roll I developed, from my Debonair #toycamera. Film: Kentmere Pan 200. Developer: Arista D76. Most photos here were taken at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I won't be too sad if I screw up and lose this roll. Developing film is way easier than I thought, 10x easier than staining microscopy slides which I used to do as an undergrad. However, scanning is 10x harder than I thought. No wonder most labs separately charge for scanning and Photo Life often screws up the scan. No wonder dedicated film scanners are so expensive. How I scanned: I have a 2009 inkjet printer that comes with a scanner. It can't scan at high enough a resolution though for now it's good enough for Debonair. Next time I'll use the digital camera method. #believeinfilm #shittycamerachallenge #filmphotography #analogphotography #ishootfilm #lomography #lofi #snow #winter #nyc #lightleak

BW photo of a small tree in the snow, casting long shadows

Light casts into a glass window, which forms interesting patterns from both the shadows inside the room and from the reflections.

A person is walking on a crosswalk, with lots of dirty snow. The sun casts a long shadow from that person. There's graffiti on a wall across the street.

Lens-Artists Challenge #383: Looking Back To Challenge #174 – Shapes and Designs

This week it’s Tina’s turn to host the Challenge, and her theme is another ‘looking back’ challenge, where the host revisits the subject of a previous Challenge. On her blog, Travels and Trifles, Tina writes: ‘This week we look back to 2021 when our Lens-Artists Challenge #174 focused on Shapes and Designs.’ Back in 2021, Patti, who hosted the Challenge that week, invited us, ‘to share images that feature shapes and designs. Have fun searching for them in nature, in your home, in architecture, in food, in textiles, on the street–and just about everywhere else.’

For pretty much all of January, and forecast for at least the first half of February, Portugal has been battered with rain. So it’s no surprise that I’ve not been out much. That’s not to say I haven’t been busy, my mind is always trying to come up with things to do when the weather improves, and one of those things is circuit bending. This is something I’ve been keen to do for a long time, but what’s always scared me off is the possibility that I might break a camera.

Circuit bending is exactly as it sounds, taking a camera and deliberately introducing changes to the circuitry in the device that corrupts the image that the camera ‘sees’. Sometimes this can be quite extreme, with wires soldered into the circuit board connected to knobs and switches that can create all kinds of variations within an image. This requires a fair bit of skill with electronics, which I definitely don’t have, so I’ve taken what I called the ‘bull in a china shop’ approach and chose the simplest form of circuit bending: jamming metal foil into the ribbon wire connecting the sensor to the main board within the camera.

Because I become far too attached to the digital cameras that I get especially for circuit bending, even those digicams from CEX for a few Euros, I decided to use the G6 Thumb Camera from AliExpress. If you are not aware, the G6 Thumb Camera is a cheap knock off of the hottest camera of the season, the Kodak Charmera. Like the Charmera, the G6 has a resolution of 1—2MP and has few other features than that. It is cheap though, at around 10—15€, and if broken, will not be missed.

So what I did was cut a thin piece of metal foil from a Ferrero Rocher chocolate and insert it alongside the ribbon wire in the G6s main board. When I turn on the camera, the image on the screen and the photographs are beautifully corrupted, with unusual colour shifts and patterns. As the weather has been so awful, I wandered around the house with the circuit bent G6 snapping as many patterns and designs as I could find.

Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the following week. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘Lens-Artists’.
