Welcome to Farktography!

This Week's Theme: "Pinholes, Lomos & Holgas, Oh My!"

Description: Take a photo with (but not limitied to) a pinhole, slit or zone plate camera, holga, diana, lomography, or other plastic/toy camera, an antique camera, or any device that equips the lens from one of these to your digital. Examples include: Holga, Diana, Blackbird Fly, Kodak Brownie, Hawkeye, anything homemade, pinholes, cheap-ass plastic-lens keychain digicams, or even disposable cameras.

We ask that before submitting your photos you read and adhere to the following submission rules, including but not limited to the following:

- Submissions must be photographs; screen captures do not count as photographs.
- You must be the original photographer of your entry. Do not submit anyone else's photography as your own.
- You are only allowed to enter a photograph once. Do not submit the same photo to another contest later.
- You may enter 3 photos in each contest as long as each photo is of a different composition.
- Please post each photo separately so they can be voted for individually.


Please note:

The overarching ideal behind Farktography is that image corrections are acceptable, while adding or removing elements in the image (e.g. removing telephone poles, adding Elvis) is not acceptable. HDR, stitching, or otherwise combining exposures in post processing are not allowed unless specified for a particular theme (multiple exposures done in-camera are acceptable, however). See the rules for more information on acceptable modifications, or check in at the Farktography Forums.


Legal: All photographers submitting photos to this contest are the legal copyright holders for the photos submitted and the photos are not to be considered free for any other use without written consent from the submitting photographers.

Dogwood, Through the Viewfinder


Shot with my 30D through the bubbleglass viewfinder of a 60+ year old Brownie Synchro twin lens reflex camera.

Viewfinder Lock


Shot with my 30D through the bubbleglass viewfinder of a 60+ year old Brownie Synchro twin lens reflex camera.

1879 Darlot, this time configured as a direct mount 135mm f/2 (or so) to a 2005 Canon xTi. The glass is

awesome for the diffraction, but using 2" aluminum cookie press plates as waterhouse stop filters tweeks things even more. The texture is all in-camera (or rather, 'on' camera).

Sewer
Shot with a Holga, the "Farkholga". Subject matter befits the medium used to capture it.
(or as my husband would say, holgas are shiat so I used one to take a picture of the shiattube)
