Brownie Contraption

Brownie Contraption
Not the greatest of photos but it gives an idea of how I attach the two cameras, blocking the light. When in use, I am holding both cameras and aligning the sites inside the "tubing."

It's not easy nor is it difficult but I find it fun to experiment. Always looking for an artistic outlet.

Speaking of which, life the last few days has been filled with painting. We've been doing a ragging technique. This shows the base coat followed by the texture/ragging. So far, I am pleased with the results.

Thanks ana. I must confess, it's a work in progress as I decide what is the best combination. Plus, trying to find something interesting to point the contraption at.

you're such a tinkerer. So are you simply connecting the SLR to the brownie with extension tubes? or do you have an actual lens on the SLR? Very original. You get sharp Holga type digital images. Kudos!

There is a lens on the SLR (in most cases my Panasonic FZ20 as it's lighter and smaller.

The tube is homemade. Some have used cardboard and others even more elaborate.


Sometimes, not so sharp. I am having fun with it, though. Thanks Michael.
