On 18th May at exactly 18:18 CET I made this shot on one of the most famous squares of Belgium... More proof you can create your own color magic using the right filters!

I designed a little brother for my Diana F+ 'El Toro'. See my blog article here: http://www.lomography.com/homes/buckshot/blog/97626-meet-the-latest-limited-edition-konstruktor
First roll with my Konstruktor. I found the shooting process with this camera pretty bizarre, due to the inverted viewfinder, the focus ring that really doesn't seem to do much, the mirror-reset lever that you have to remember to flick after each shot, and the winding mechanism that clicks and clacks and sounds like it's ripping your sprockets. Plus, it being a completely DIY camera, there's no way of knowing whether you assembled everything properly until you get some shots out of it. So I really wasn't expecting much with this first test roll, but... well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Let's just say I'm definitely a Konstruktor Konvert! :-)
I really like the combo of Konstruktor and Agfa CT Precisa film. Took my Konstruktor to Grapevine to capture some train shots. Some of these trains have been parked on these tracks for decades. I love the grunge and rust of these old railroad cars although am leery of the hygiene ;)
With this test album I wanted to try various conditions: low light, bright light, doubles etc. The camera handled low light actually pretty well, maybe a bit better than extremely bright light. After each photo I would the film advance crank to the point where it stopped. By doing so the film was advanced 1 1/2 frames, which is why I have fewer photos. Either I put it together wrong or I should not advance until it stops. I love the feel of this camera although found it a bit hazy when trying to see the subject in the viewfinder. All in all I love this camera! So fun to use something you've put together!
