Digial Harinezumi Camera - with viewfinder modification

_GMP0830tu.jpg

My new Digial Harinezumi camera, I superglued an old viewfinder from my Yashica Electro 35 wide angle kit, and it works pretty well for composing shots.

These are such amazing little cameras. The video quality is very much like super 8 movie film. It's only 640X480 resolution, but that just adds to it's charm. The motion is jittery too, i think it shoots at 29fps. The auto exposure has the same look as super 8 on auto as well. Here are some shots taken with it in still mode...(with some photoshop tweaks).

Below is a shot with macro on for that nice soft focus look.

Beautiful beautiful mush. Reminds me of the Fisher-Price video camera (if you're going for the lo-fi look…)

Funny how indie filmmaking moved to super 8 after 16 was deemed too expensive/exclusive, then video, and now digital…
