... and the surprises you get when you shoot in an editorial setting with a DianaF+.  This week for my editorial class i decided to take my DianaF+, the hotshoe flash adapter and a lot of gambling on whether or not I could get the transmitter for the strobe to work with the diana.  It did and my model and I had tons of fun shooting with it and my 35mm camera.

Today I'll show you the diana fun and maybe later the shots I got with my 35mm.  Now I'm going to enlighten you guys a bit about the diana.  These are not the sharpest crayons in the box, thanks to the wonderfulness of a plastic lens.  And they are not the most contrasty negatives you'll ever see.  So the results I have are the best that can be done without completely blowing out the highlights.  Also, the vignetting at the edges are natural on the film itself.  That being said, I hope you enjoy my Diana Fun!

Shot with Ilford 120 HP5 ISO 400 film.  I had to have ISO 400 due to the fact that diana's only have three f-stops (f22-f11) and two shutterspeeds (1/60 and bulb).  These were all shot at f11 at 1/60" with one umbrella strobe for lighting.  Negatives scanned in at school, levels and contrast in CS2.
