[ Why I did it ]
Trying my hand at my first multi (more than 2) exposure... A big leap as I have not even perfected the doubles...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
My foolish attempt at triple-exposures ended up with this mess... The lamp post is lost in a mess of darker (stronger color) leaves... Need lots of work on my lighting and contrast...

[ Why I did it ]
Would like to see the results of the pinhole on (very) distanced subjects... And more practice on double exposures, not all of my multi-exposures so far turned out terrific...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Kept mistaking the Diana+ to be equipped with a zoom lens of sorts... Very distanced subjects would end up losing focus and small compared to the objects closer to the lens...

Having two dark scenes with no outstanding contrasting subjects make bad multi-exposures...

[ Why I did it ]
Another eye-shot at a different distance (about 3-4cm). If I do get the eye-shot right, I would want to have a picture of the "eye in the sky" eventually...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
WooHoo!!! My first successful eye macro, just need to work on the positioning--Big nose... :P

Need work on my multi-exposure techniques, currently I would usually get an image that "overpowers" the other... The second exposure, in this case, could be seen in the darker corners of the face...

This photo stands out the most, even with a reduced resolution. Could use a bit more expressions in the eye, though...

Another take at the superimposing eye thingy, would really want to get this right...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Seems likely that the first image was not exposed correctly, I could make out the vignette of the first exposure (top left and bottom right), but there's no sign of the main subject (eye)...

Nice trees and bright sky... Looking forward to doing better...

[ Why I did it ]
Double exposure pinholes... Have always thought about this; Having an eye superimposed onto another subject...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Didn't expect to see a quarter of the face in the shot, was just expecting only the eye--Need to work on the distance, I had the pinhole about 5-6cm away from the eye.

Forehead is overshadowed by the sky, the (picture, right) eye pupil is located just above the right corner of the roof...

The building is captured nicely in this shot... Ghostly...

Subject: Cluster of Pink Flowers
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny (from Shade)
Shutter: "B" (10s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: 1-2m

[ Why I did it ]
Another revisited shot... This time I wanted to do a really close macro, place the lens right in the middle of the cluster...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
This is another good example of the vignette in pinhole, while having the lens on, with the focus set to 1-2m... However, this would result in a really bad focus on the intended subject as seen here...

Subject: Single Blooming Flower, in a cluster of bulbs
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: "B" (03s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: - NA -

[ Why I did it ]
Another shot of another flower in bloom... Wonder how close should the camera be?

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Lens flare is added to the mix together with the soft focus of the pinhole... However, I'm amaze at how close I could get to the subject with the pinhole, while retaining most of the details...

A flower in full bloom, a good scene to try out a macro...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Expected a sharp image (I must be kidding... :P), but ended up with an image that looks like a fireworks display...

Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: "B" (03s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: 4m-Infinity

[ Why I did it ]
This tree is standing there surrounded by shrubs. Looks very much like the shrubs are gathering at the feet of the tree, worshipping its presence...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Got to work on my distance estimations... Subject is too distanced and there's lots of "empty" spaces... The black path lamp seems to be grabbing the most attention...

Subject: "Swing Me Mama" Sculpture
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: "B" (03s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: 4m-Infinity

[ Why I did it ]
I hoping to capture 2 subjects in this shot the "Swing Me Mama" and the swan sculpture far behind it ("Swing Me Mama"). However, the big distance difference might cause some problems in the focus department...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
The swan sculpture is barely visible due to the distance, its located right beside (left of) "Swing Me Mama"... Note that the background is quite sharp compared to the foreground, which reflects the focus that was set for this shot...

Subject: Mini Waterfall
Environment: Outdoor, Sunny
Shutter: "B" (03s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: 1-2m

[ Why I did it ]
This scene was right under the sun, a couple of seconds would be enough for a pinhole shot... Would also be fun to see the "flow" of the water with a slow shutter...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Not bad, everything seems to be in a standstill, and the "flow" of the stream is captured nicely... *Joy*

Found this out; For the Diana+, to get the vignette effect with pinhole, keep the lens on with the focus set to 1-2m. As seen in this picture and another later shot, the vignette is strongly visible... The vignette is barely visible when the focus is set to 4m-Infinity...

Environment: Outdoor, Sunny (from Shade)
Shutter: "B" (05s)
Aperture: Pinhole (f/150)
Focus: 4m-Infinity

[ Why I did it ]
A revisit, wasn't able to see the result from my last film (due to accidental film exposure...). Hopeful of the outcome but not expecting too much...

[ Photo :: Thought ]
Okay--No exactly want I had expected... Subjects seems smaller--Gave this shot a distance too much... Might require another revisit...
