selfmade splitzer by @buckshot - strange colours for a Sensia 100

when i saw the shots of @buckshot he took with his selfmade splitzer for the LC-W i was immediately wanting to try this. so did i. the splitzer is really easy to make but obviously it's not easy to handle everything when shooting upside down. so as you will notice on the shots one side of the shot is more exposed than the other. this is surely due to my finger holding the splitzer when shooting upside down so the finger partly covers the lightmeter. and as you can see there are dark parts on mpst shots. probably my cardboard splitzer was a bit too big so when switching there were parts not exposed at all. so definitely worth giving more tries and maybe using plastic. pls have a look at buckshots album if you haven't yet: www.lomography.com/homes/buckshot/albums/2008521-inspired-b…

    After my first few shots with this splitzer, I came to the same conclusion that my right hand was blocking the light meter when holding the camera upside down, because I could hear that the shutter was firing more slowly, so for the rest of the film, I held the camera and splitzer with my left hand instead, and pressed the shutter release with my right thumb. It's a bit of an awkward position, but you get used to it after a while. Anyway, I think it's totally cool that you found my tipster useful, and you got some very good results too - congrats, and big thanks...! :-)
