Old Photos Effect? Use Plastic Cap!

I am a very active member on Philmug forum, I really love to learn from wonderful people about photography techniques, tips, advices, etc. I found an interesting forum about cheap photography trick by Krist Menina.

He said : " I was gonna try the vaseline hack from this Photojojo blog and I bought a slightly cheap UV filter for it. But then it's not easy letting go of a brand new filter (and throwing 400 pesos in the air) in case, it would be permanently damaged. Fortunately, I found something real cheap to get the same effect: the plastic cap of a cotton buds container (30+ pesos). I got photos that have a lomo-y look to them even though they we're taken off a Lumix GF1. "

Krist is a genius! Check his photos on Flickr account. So I tried to experiment my photography, it was so fun! Amazingly, there are many different effects: dreamy, lomography style, Holga-style, pinhole effect, scratchy / vignetted effect, etc. Here are my shots.

TEST SHOTS - SLR Magic 26mm f/1.4

Here are my test shots of SLR Magic 26mm f/1.4 toy lens. It's more dreamy & wilder than SLR Magic 35mm. Like I said again, it's like Lensbaby effect. I really, really enjoy using SLR Magic lenses very much. They're perfect for creative uses.

SLR Magic 26mm f/1.4

I got SLR Magic 26mm f/1.4 toy lens from my super lovely kind sweet friend Silie today. It's tinier & lighter than 35mm. I'm going to post my test shots tonight!

I love this. So dreamy. Glad I taught my dear friend Kat how to pose.


These are my favorite shots. The bokeh is beautifully bizarre. Thank you for your emo pose, my cat Flame.

Goodnight, let my GF1 camera and SLR Magic lens rest now.
