Here are a couple of samples and the link:

Did some post prod, i.e; Contrast, highlite and shadow stuff and sharpened 0.4 pixels at 180 percent.

I was actually surprised by the close up capacity. It is actually quite good in a shitty kind of way...

I would have never thought you'd consider becoming a lomographer, Benjamin.

I really like that first shot...

I think you need a 2x TC to get the first shoot even better. It would give you a nice closer look.

Instead of a super massive black hole or a galaxy, you could use a graviton emitter. It is cheap, commonplace (every school bench has one handy) and lightweight. Doctor’s holocamera (I think it is a Pentax K1000000000,3D) has several of them and still weighs just 500g.
If you don’t believe me ask Seven.

Nowhere nearly powerful enough for my bird-shooting needs.

I dunno, that seems like a really nice soft focus lens, try taking a portrait with it and see how it comes out.

I agree, it looks like an interesting soft focus lens.

Also, if you did a B&W or sepia conversion it might give the look of an antique photo.

somebody please put this thread out of it's misery :-)

and bury that lens in the ground, lol, it's giving me a headache from trying to focus my eyeballs

Torphoto · 05-22-2008, 06:39 PM

It's has a kinda interesting builtin soft out of focus effect, cool!
