Photos from the Brownie Hawkeye

So the results are in. . . I took a bunch of pictures with the 120mm film and they the camera yielded hazy and dream like photos. Actually pretty difficult to achieve naturally in this day and age with digital. The wonderful and unique thing about these photos are that they are 5x5" and not just the ordinary 4x6" or 5x7". The camera is from the mid-century and it had built up dust particles throughout the viewfinder and the lens behind the shutter. So, I took it apart and cleaned it. Currently I'm shooting another roll of film to see if the picture quality will improve.

Tilt Shift Effect

There are lens called tilt-shift lens made by Lensbaby that allows one to capture a unique perspective of wide angle shots. The resulting effects are images that look miniature and toy like. This can also be achieved by using photo editing programs such a Photoshop or Lightroom. I'm not one to spend a lot of money on equipment as long as I can bring it home with the end results so I opted to use photo editing to enhance the pictures for the same tilt shift look. I may one day decide to make a tilt-shift lens.
