Well, my sick fascination with toy "Hit" cameras continues. This represents my first venture into color photography with the Hit camera. This is Fuji Super G 100 that was slit to 16mm film for use in my Minoltas. But I wound up with a few "ends" that were to short to fill a Minolta cassettes to 20 exposures, but just about right for the Hit camera roll. I really really tried to NOT do any digital manipulation to the images, so as to not dilute the "art" of the Hit camera. But I couldn't resist playing around a bit with some images. Captions as necessary. And experiments will continue as now I'm really fascinated with the idea of getting better images from these cameras. Obviously there are some light leak problems, and some film registration troubles. Darn hard to see the film frame numbers in the little window on old, reused backing paper!

Obviously there is some light leaking trouble. It was very bright and sunny, but I had taped the edges around the camera back with black tape, and kept black tape over the frame counter window except when advancing film. Ah, all the more reason to press onward. There were a couple time exposures taken of the Christmas lights on the house, and the tree in the house that looked promising but the frames overlapped so much I didn't mess with them.

The daylight photos were taken in bright outside sunshine. Full frame above, cropped and a tab or sharpening and contrast added below.

Cars interior (duh). Cropped out the bad light struck parts of the frame, sharpened and got this.

This is about one third of a frame., Cropped, sharpened and added contrast. Downtown Bovey, MN

My sons school. Full frame, no manipulation. Below, same shot, cropped, sharpened and punched up just a little. You can actually READ the schools name!

Our house. Full frame, no manipulation.

My son at the shortwave radio in the kitchen. Available light, camera sitting on a stool. About 1 sec "guess" exposure. Full frame, no manipulation.
