As I was thinking about how to use the macro lens on my Diana Mini and about what to shoot with it, I saw the Lomo Cameras keychains I just received, and thought it could be interesting to shoot these mini cameras in Diana Mini macro mode!

I loved my LC-A+ Krab a lot this summer. One thing I couldn’t get used to, was the inability to reach my MX switch. I’m a nut for double exposures. So I decided to use it for a layer roll and re-use it out of the aqua.

Basically this is the one trick that I am really good at: I go to crappy stores, buy crappy light-up toys, set up my thrift store tripod, roll out the long cable release, and get the B setting to work it!

Does your Smena 8m works only on bulb mode? Have you broken its glass lens or you can’t adjust the aperture anymore? Hmmm what should you do? Throw it in a bin? Woah! Just stop right here, it still can be useful, you know! How about making a pinhole camera with outstanding clock mechanism design, it’s possible!

It is said that the Olympus XA2 is usually called the poor man’s LCA. So I call my experiment camera here as poor man’s Horizon. the angle of view is around 115 degrees, but you can make it wider of course!

Making your own little pinhole camera from scratch is sure fun and most likely will make you feel proud that not only because you built the camera yourself, you’ll also managed to produce images with it! But to be inside a pinhole camera? Yes, it is possible with this tipster!
