Camera Hacking Make: Podcast

Like Doctor Frankenstein scouring the countryside for dead bodies to put together, so you, the camera hacker will scour garage sales, thrift stores and ebay to find old cameras to rip apart and put back together in creative new ways.

I somewhat agree with the point you make about the wasting. But the fact that you're immediate response with the pictures is that you can do it on photoshop worries me. this is analog, it's lo-fi, it has soul. Digital photos altered on photoshop almost never have this gorgeous aesthetic quality to them. Learn to appreciate analog.

jesus, just because something is old doesn't mean you need to destroy it. i love that you're creating something new but have some respect, those cameras are why photography even exists. and just saying, instead of making yourself look like an idiot by not showing any results because the negatives were under exposed. just go shoot another roll tomorrow and finish the video, don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to hate all over your video, just show a little respect my friend. peace and love.

In my opinion the only difference is WHY you're capturing the image. If you're simply doing it for other people, or to make a buck... use digital and apply filters.

I don't like that sort of photography however.

If you're doing it FOR YOURSELF... go out with a cheap film camera, and fire away. Forget about aperture, shutter, and even ISO... just shoot. Forget about focus... just shoot. Forget about perfect... just shoot.

Digital is fine... but it's not as FUN.

Film produces tonal qualities that digital has yet to be able to reproduce,that is why many famous nat. geo photographers and most fine-art photographers still use film. Another problem with digital is most digital photos all look the same, and its a lot easier to have a more unique look with film because you have to do a lot more stuff manually, such as using choosing different chemicals, developing processes, and different qualities in film, just saying.
