Take a good look at this one. I captured this image using an Eddie Bauer branded four lens toy camera that I found at Megan's parents home in Maine. Each lens has a fixed aperature, and a little disc rotates around each aperature when you press the shutter, resulting in four views recorded on a single frame of 35 mm film.
I left the artifacts, I'm not exactly sure what they are, but I think they give some character and "old-timey" feel to the image.
What do you think?
I had the film processed at CVS and scanned, I adjusted levels and removed a bit of the grain.

Hard to believe you captured these with a toy camera. Goes to show it's not the equipment as much as it is the photographer. Well done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun experiment! Good work. ;-)

Brill stuff, its because you're a photographer - thats why they are so good.
ReplyDeleteCool collage. A bit scary but nice. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery fun take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the birth of your son, he's just beautiful.
Neat captures, I like playing around with cameras like that to see what results I can get.
ReplyDeleteHow awesome...glad you experimented and showed us the result.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, i love the picture.. good job... thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteA toy camera? I'm amazed at the photos.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I am experimenting with some TtVF photography, and have dug out my old cameras to get spruced up this weekend. One is a Kodak Pony from the 1940's. We'll see ...
ReplyDeleteThese are great,

Reminds me of many of our old family pictures. Very pretty though.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sky Watching!
I found the same camera at a thrift store. It confused the hell out of me, but I got it out of curiosity.
ReplyDeleteEven searching on Google there isn't much information on the camera, save this blog entry.
Here are some of my pictures I got out of it:

I haven't been able to find a single other Bauer result than yours and I thought I'd share mine.
