Splitz your images!

Diana Splitzer

With a Diana F+ in hand, it’s nice to take a straight-off, one-shot image of your favorite person, animal, or thing. But wouldn’t it be great to slice and dice your images into a beautiful blending of halves and quarters? Well thanks to the nice folks at Lomography, now you can. The Diana+ Splitzer easily slips on and off the Diana+ lens and works with all the Lomography Diana+ and Diana F+ cameras. Certain parts of certain image fragments bleed into one another for unpredictable multiple-exposed portions. But that’s just all part of the fun - isn’t it?

• You don’t have to fill in every portion of the shot every time. There’s nothing wrong with shooting half and leaving the other half a dark, mysterious sea of black.

• Toss in a flash every now and then. Nothing says “hell yes” like a half-flashed, and half-naturally-shot nighttime exposure.

• Don’t get stuck in a rut. It’s awesome to be totally (& pleasantly) shocked by your latest set of prints from the lab. Keep changing the formula! With the Splitzer, your multiple-exposure opportunities are basically endless.

• Shooting lots of double-exposures in the daytime will wash out your image. Maybe you don’t want this. Or maybe this is that exact dose of random lo-fi that you’re looking for. Give it a try either way.

• Never before have you been given total control over what is pictured on your lomograph. Take advantage of this! Use the Splitzer to tell a story or relate unrelated things on one single print.

• Want to get really random? Forget the multiple exposure switch altogether. Shoot a full roll of images – changing the Splitzer’s position each time. Later on that day, the following day, next month or year, or whatever – reload the film and shoot it again; varying the Splitzer’s position for each shot. You’ll have NO idea of what the hell will be on your pictures but it’s guaranteed to be an extremely good time – and pretty much guaranteed to get you at least a handful of absolutely mindblowing images.

At only $14.99, you would be silly not to get your camera a little present!

I hate captchas!

They make no sense. Adding friends on Myspace is a constant vision test designed to annoy. I don’t understand why the letters have to be all twisted and blurry? Do spambots have difficulty reading them this way? What about us regular people that just can’t see?
