Experimental Fisheye Photography

After Dan's birthday(documented here) we went clubbing in A-Life: A club in Roppongi.

Apart from the usual chanting and disco dancing (disco STU loves the sexy disco laydeez) I took my fisheye lomo and new colorsplash flash out for some fun. The results were unpredictable and fairly random, partly because I decided to try slide film in there as an experiment.

Clubbing on Dan's Birthday

For the funky long exposure shots, I put the camera in B [Bulb] mode and took a couple of exposures of people dancing, then just kept the shutter open and pointed the camera at the lights for a while.

I'm quite happy with the results and apart from the difficulty of framing exactly what I wanted to capture (there is no viewfinder on the camera) it mostly worked. The slide film - although very colourful - was a mistake. It has taken about a month to get them developed then scanned. Grrr. Also - given that the lens really isn't that sharp, I just have some very colourful but blurry fisheye shots.
