The Light Leak Game with Diana F+

10

You can never go wrong with Diana F+. A mistake which turned out into nice bursts of colors makes me want to do it more and more — again and again. Leave your 120 films for a while — Let’s move to 35mm, and enjoy the happy colors of the light leak.

As a newbie of Diana f+ user, I’ve been spending my time with 120 films a lot, until i finally decided to try the power of 35mm films with my Diana f+. Diana 35mm body back wasn’t my first decision. I found a video from Youtube about how-to use 35mm film in Diana/Holga camera, and somehow I managed it.

I only did one mistake : I closed the film counter with carton paper, instead of duct tape and aluminium foil.

And what happened next was a big surprise.

Pretty, stunning, colorful results came through the light leak. What more can i say? Those pictures speak about themselves with such amazing bursts of colors.

The excitement led me to another try.

Now tell me, aren’t you tempted already to try? ;)

    Fantastic! I did this too the first time - I thought cereal box stuck down with masking tape would suffice... Look what came out:

    @Yattering: Sure, i can help you. :) Maybe through email or this? Actually i just covered the film counter with hard paper (like cereal box) and taped it. I'll put the pic soon! :D

    @phil
    Whoa! Nice! You did it well, mine were totally leaked probably because the weather here is so freaking hot. :D
