We used to need a whole array of filters when we shot film. Solid colours to shift the contrast on black & white film. Variously coloured […]

Although Ive (sadly) never owned a Nintendo Game Boy Camera, I love to see how artists, scientists or nineties kids play with it in the modern age. An astronomer AlexanderPietrow used this 1998 gadget for astrophotography, and ended up with 2bit images of the Moon and Jupiter. He shares the process and the photos with […]
