photo from week 79 - Demekin 110 Fisheye
Reflected self-portrait with Demekin 110 Fisheye. Using a simple fixed shutter speed camera meant that I had to find a brightly lit place for the reflected portrait. This is the window of a local college.

The Romano Jilo dancers at the Sharrow festival in Sheffield, this was taken holding the camera up in the air above my head.

The lens on this novelty toy camera is so wide that even holding it at arm's length looks a long way off.

photos from week 78 - Agfa Parat-1
2 consecutive frames (or rather half-frames) taken in Liverpool. The expired and cross processed film is responsible for the strange colours.

Week 79 - Demekin Pocket Fisheye
This is a real novelty camera. It takes a 110 film cartridge, which clips onto the camera and forms the body. The lens is an 8.9mm fisheye, there are no controls, the shutter speed, aperture and focus are all fixed. Bright conditions are needed, especially as the only 110 film available now is expired. I've loaded it with some from the late 1990s.
