The roll (of disaster) that was halfway scanned (a roll of Lomo redscale 120) from some weeks back became an eyesore on my desk … so I decided to scan the surviving shots and get over it as soon as possible. Yeah … this was the roll I shot (with my Diana F+) not long ago … during an ‘outing’ with Jimmy (from ThirtySix).

Most of the shots from this roll turned out underexposed. Note to self : Do not drink beer before taking photographs! Hehehe! I’m gonna tell Jimmy… >> read more

I’m getting closer to clearing all the partially exposed rolls of film left stuck in some cameras. This time … a roll of Lomography redscale film finally got fully exposed and it in are some random shots from Taiwan and Singapore. Well … only 2 were shot in Taiwan.

I could only find time to scan 4 of them and will try stay awake tonight to finish scanning the others.

Most of them seem to be a underexposed and looks very red!

This one (above) was taken during a short… >> read more

Friends found it hard to believe when I told them that I shot only about a roll of 120 on my Diana F+ and maybe 15 frames on my LC-A+ during my recent vacation to Taiwan. It is not that I wasn’t trigger happy but … the *cough cough* truth is … I was spending too much time playing with the X-Pro1. Okay … let’s not talk about the X-Pro1 for now.
There were some frames left in a roll that I loaded into my Diana F+ and it was… >> read more

It has been almost a month since my birthday and today … when I was at ThirtySix buying some film in preparation for a short vacation come month end … I received a super duper awesome cool present from those guys there! Well … I was supposed to buy the Sahara Diana F+ to add to my Diana camera family but when I asked for the bill … I was told to pay something less than 50 bucks. I told Noreen (Miun) at the counter that I am buying the… >> read more

One year ago … those awesome people from ThirtySix gave me a super duper surprise when they gave me the Wrangler special edition Diana F+ for Christmas. That camera was meant to be a prize for some competition and they managed to hunt one down for me (which they still refuse to tell me how they did it).
This year … last night … I met up with Jimmy for some beer at a barbeque session and after some beer … he turned into the skinniest Santa ever and gave… >> read more

“Vendo Camara Diana F+ “Canal Odisea” medio formato – 35€+envio”
These were the words I saw in a Flickr group page that made me went ‘Huh? What?’ but I had a feeling my hunt for the Odisea edition of the Diana F+ camera finally has some hope. I used Google translate and promptly contacted the user. I was overjoyed when the seller replied me (in English!) and after a shot while … she agreed to help ship it to me in Singapore from Spain. Yahooo!!! It finally arrived but I’m… >> read more

Three days away from home … three (painful) days without internet access … and I reached back here in Singapore with my email account flooded with mails, my blog guestbook flooded with few spam entries trying to sell me Viagra … and in that pile of unread emails … there were two pretty ‘deadly’ ones!
This first one is from a blog reader who asked if I’ll have a ‘sneak preview’ of a Holga panoramic camera (thanks, Erik!) Huh? I thought the pano camera was the old pinhole one but… >> read more

Forgetting what film was loaded into a Diana F+ camera was probably one big mistake. Realising that I’ve not been using my Diana F+ camera for the longest time and deciding to bring it along with the roll of film (that I loaded in it maybe over a year ago and not know what film) for my recent Hong Kong trip … was another big mistake.

I thought I had a roll of ISO400 film loaded and happily fired away (although I only managed to that roll of 120 film… >> read more

It has been a while since I’ve added any new ‘girls’ to my family of Diana F+ clones … and recently three of them were ‘born’. The yellow ‘Buttercup’ and the blue ‘True Blue’ are the latest ones from Lomography and were available at ThirtySix the minute they were launched. Picked them both up this afternoon while I was there submitting a DVD of photos.

The third one … the ‘Daybreak’ is another Urban Outfitters exclusive edition. It actually arrived some weeks back but I was so busy that I… >> read more
