Title: It was an accident, I tell you!
Post by: Will on 14 Feb 2007, 16:14

I was trying to take a picture tonight of the apartment next to mine, but since my camera is a fairly cheap model, it didn't respond to twilight very well.  So I moved back underneath a street light, and this is what I got: (the fog is actually my breath, from the cold)

Here's another one, that was just the apt. and the street light, but no fog.

I didn't actually mean for these to turn out this way, but I kinda think they look pretty cool, especially the first one.

Slightly creepy, but v. cool.

Really awesome, in a camp-creepy sort of a way.  You could send it in to one of those mystery shows that show in the middle of the day on Discovery, History, and Scifi channels proving the existence of UFOs to get some showtime.
And at least you have a camera.  I'm probably going to sell my body outside of Best Buy so I can go inside and buy a camera, that's how bad I want one.  But it will probably be a cheap model, because I am a cheap person, and we will match.
Plus, you really did a great job working with your materials to create something that people like to look at.  That's a talent that nobody will take away from you.

I got mine for $75 plus another $20 for a 256 mb memory card, it's a Polaroid a300 with 3.2 megapixel resolution.  Takes decent enough pictures, it just doesn't do very well in low-light situations.

I really like the first one!
