Here is a cool site you should check out. Carbonmade lets you set up a relatively easy gallery. A free account gives you 5 projects, with 30 total images hosted. It’s not alot, but its a fun way to share family photos, vacation photos, etc. I love the sleek feel to the galleries. And heck, it’s free, why not give it a spin?
Check out the quick gallery i set up.

Holga cameras for those that don’t know are basically toy cameras, made out of alot of plastic, and interestingly enough, use medium format film. Alot of people like the holga because it’s the cheapest way to get into medium format, and the plastic lens creates a unique look.
Well Holgamods has an option for dSLR owners wanting that holga lens effect. They have attached a holga lens to a body cap. A little pricey in my opinion, but still pretty cool.

Want to attempt the holga effect digitally? Check out this post then.
Lighthouse in a Tree updated the Dirkon 35mm paper pinhole camera which was made to look like a regular camera, by giving it a snazzy design!
The design is given free in a PDF, print it, cut it, and even follow their video of how to assemble it.

The other day i was messing around with photoshop, and I figured I would make some files for my readers that they may find useful. Two of them are for the cross-processed film look, E6 in C41 chemistry and vice versa. The other file is an actions file where I attempted to record the process of having a split-tone effect.
Downloading
There is a password you need to enter to grab these files. It is “idreaminred” without the quotes.

Installing
Curve files – Just put these anywhere, just as long as you can find them when you need them. When you open up a new curves dialog in photoshop, there will be a button labeled “load”, just click that, and locate the file.
Action files – Check out the actions tutorial I wrote here. Look towards the bottom and you will see how to install an action file.
Using
Cross process curve files – I suggest loading them in an adjustment layer rather than a regular curves dialog, that way you can adjust the opacity to change the effect to your liking. Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves
Action file – just follow the directions when you run the action.
If you download and enjoy the files, please drop me a comment here, that way I know I’m not just wasting my time.
Happy 4th of July everyone. Good luck to everyone with your firework photos! Feel free to post any links you have to your firework galleries in this post.
