OK, you may not be able to get a Polaroid camera anymore ( Dom, you may want to look them up on Google? ), but with the mighty Poladroid software you can have some fun with your pics!



Makes any current ride look like a retro classic...love it.

Why not have a play?

p.s. I really do need to take my Lomo camera out on the trails this year...

To be honest you have far too much time on your hands.....

But it chops your wheels off

Sorry Dom, I just assumed you had never had the delights of waving a Polaroid in the air to get it develop...ahhh happy days!

Liking the way the photo develops polaroid style on your desktop!
Here mine
 


Tim, Ive got a Lomo camera somewhere too, one of those ones that takes 6 pictures in quick succession onto the same exposure
I am mostly liking your tilt-shift photos though, do you have a proper lens or did you make your own one? http://www.creativepro.com/article/build-a-tilt-shift-camera-lens-peanuts

[domino0]

I recently heard about the tilt shift lenses, enlighten me as to what exactly they are?

OK kinda get it, how much are the lenses, the photos you get look cool. It would be to fit a Pentax Digital SLR camera i believe, i have never bought one so dont know where to look

Way way expensive Dom, in the price realms of serious profesional photographers only, I think your looking around £600 upwards

Thats why I was thinking of making my own using the link I posted, my old school film driven Minolta SLR doesnt quite justify the full on expense

I think they may just be photoshopped though 


On a different note I got some cool footage on the helmet cam at Cannock today, gonna edit it tomorrow and post the next vid up soon (some nice angles with camera mounted on bike looking forwards and back)

I could blag a tilt-shift lens from somewhere I am sure, but for the shots on my flickr page I cheated and used www.tiltshiftmaker.com

As for a Lomo camera I have a russian made LC-A+ ( not the new chinese one )...learn about them on www.lomography.com

If you are into photography follow my day job on twitter @LoweproUK ( sorry blatant plug ) but I've got some plans I am working on for some bike photography :-)

Bong, the 07 VIP complete bike actually came with 66's which had the 'wrong' internals so they were out at 170mm ( SteveB will remember better than me ). I had the bike for the summer whilst waiting for the first 666 to land. My current 08 Mini has the rather useless 55's.....learnt my lesson the hard way with these!

Tim S

[bong69uk]

Yeah the 55's are pretty pants! VodkaRob on here aint had much luck with his and my mate iain blew his cartridge up in his tsts2's on his 1st run  down the pleney in morzine,so we ordered some 09 66's from crc when out there.

id stay clear or marzocchi for anything since 2008  but the 2010 stuff looks nuts and is supposed to be a lot bettter  still wont be uying any though
