The Future’s so bright that we have to wear shades. by mattcharnock
Recently my favourite sunglasses decided to break. So I decided to make a filter for my camera!
Firstly I took the lenses out of the frame. Then I put the lenses over the lens and traced the circle with a pen.
I considered how I could cut the shape out, fortunately for me I have an awesome father in law who also likes to make things. So; I went to his workshop and hijacked his Dremmel spinny sandy thing (that’s its technical name) and slowly sanded the shape until I had the circle.
I worked at it until it fitted in the housing of the lens.
I shot a roll of Fuji colour and then a roll of Lomo X-pro. The Fuji took on a really nice red hue and had a very nostalgic look whereas the X-pro went very grainy but still had an interesting look
If anyone has old sunglasses feel free to send them to me so I can make more filters!
