i've got my mom's old digital camera, and the difference between it and my phone camera, good as it is, is night and day.

the photos of my prints match what i see in reality pretty much perfectly straight out of the camera, but they look a little dim next to other photos. should i be editing for a subtly 'heightened reality' over what i see in actual reality?

apparently i never got around to posting the autumn tree - it's pretty great! this was my first attempt at printing a gradient and i'd say i nailed it

a wintery tree!

i'm slowly working towards 4 seasonal tree lego prints - autumn exists, and a basic summer-ish tree, but that one will probably get revised to fit in better with the rest.

i don't have a very good eye for evaluating photos yet, but i'm starting to understand what is meant by microfilm being very contrasty

big print! the image is a full 32 studs tall, so registration was not as simple as it is when the paper is smaller than the baseplate and i can make a jig for the corner out of legos. i was lazy and just eyeballed the vertical alignment. i think i did a decent job at that, and loose registration is somewhat charming, anyways

if i rubberband a loupe to my phone, i can get a pretty good image of my negatives! a little spherical aberration around the corners (at least i think that's what that is).

the actual size of the negative is 10x14mm. the text on those posters must be a quarter of a millimeter tall!

i've been trying film photography! in my usual unusual way. i got a subminiature camera and i've been shooting on 16mm microfilm (very cheap, very experimental).

it looks like i've got some decent developments, but i realized i don't have a good way to scan the negatives... at least the framing is nice in this phone close-up

cyanograph camera mk2!

the last one was a crime against cameras. this here is a crime in the name of cameras

now featuring:

i've only gotten one photo that looks like anything so far... i'm too impatient (and i keep jostling the camera before the image is ready). the acrylic sheet in front of the paper absorbs some uv light as well (probably the lens too? the lens on the last one was glass, not plastic). the longer 120mm focal length means i get a larger image, but it also means the light is spread thinner over a larger surface.

i've had people recommend some alternate cyanotype processes that should speed up the exposure; i'll tinker with that sometime soon.

it really took me a whole year of making lego prints to remember that the ideal use of legos is to make space ships

here's an earlier attempt, looking through the rungs of the railing for a few hours yesterday morning. spooky, according to the camera.

this is the crime against cameras that i shot it on. it's basically like a regular camera, except the focal length is fixed, the shutter is just taking it outside and bringing it back in, and the shutter speed is around 6 hours.

i'm astonished it worked this well

in the pursuit of art/mad science, i have made a cyanograph(?) camera!

my first decent exposure was some random position on my balcony. here it is digitally inverted, along with the actual negative

this guy could have benefitted from a third layer, but i'm pretty happy with them as they are.

the smile was unintentional. it was supposed to be more like a jaw, but it turned out so much better
