The Pacific Tower Building

[Brian Moore]

Long Beach, California. Built in 1923 or 1924, depending on what you read on the web. 12 floors. Architect: W. Horace Austin.

Took this shot with my Vivitar PN2011 with flipped lens, and Walgreens 200 ASA film.

Wow, my cameras can't do this!

What is a flipped lens?

 

[Brian Moore]

I took the lens out and re-installed it backwards, Jim.

 

[Jim Kuo]

Oh haha

Is it a customised way to turn a lens into a fish eye?

Is it a customised way to turn a lens into a fish eye?

I guess you could call it that.

Hey Jim, you could be the first person to post a tutorial on how to convert an X100!!

Another nice result from that camera Brian. I love what it's done to the fire escapes. Great choice of subject as usual.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks a lot, Pete. I can never predict what will come out of that camera.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Really good use of this camera here i think! works really well imo!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Hamish!
