Experiments with 'Slamming' the camera.

Ok so I started this blog well into my disposable journey, so it's hard to remember which order my now hundreds of photos go in, so I'm just going to blog them in sets and then probably add or move them around later :)

So here's some of the better examples of the outcome when you slam the camera against your hand to get a second exposure. Although none of these really have a second image on top of the first, they show some of the other results you can get by using this technique.

This first one is just a lovely blur of colours. You can clearly see the movement of the camera in the upper left hand corner. I don't even know what this was supposed to be a photo of, but I like it!

This was done with a Kodak FunSaver single use camera (review to come!), with a blue sharpie flash and yellow and red nail polishes over the lens.


This one you can clearly see my fingers in, but I still really like the photo. I think because the fingers are blurred (they're not in many of my other photos) it doesn't look like the photo has been ruined.

This was with the Fuji QuickSnap, with a green sharpie flash and yellow nail polish over the lens.


This one again you can see the motion of the camera, but you can also see the side of the boat I was in and the oar, which is quite clear (considering!) so the contrast is nice.

For this one I partially wound the camera on, which is why you get the blocks on the left.

There's all variety of things going on in this photo! Motion blur, fingers, second exposures. All in all makes for an interesting photo!

This one was archived without a description for some reason so I'll have to look up the lens/flash details.

These last two are from the same set. Partial wind ons and fingers in the way. I find these interesting because each exposure is so different.
