Best Diana pic I've seen in a long while! This is how it should be done. I like how you framed this, it's really wonderful. Were you using the original lens?

Thank you very much for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy it :]
Actually I took photo with the Diana F+ 55mm add-on wide angle lens that I'm experimenting with.

Hey no problem
I've been eyeing up that lens myself for the longest time, I'd a feeling this had been taken with one. You make me crave it moreso now, lol.

It's almost as if the swing is still in motion from the way it's quite blurred and all. o.O
I like the effect and how the monotone increases the impact overall. It's interesting how it feels quite circular, as if we were peering through something.
The timing is fantastic and I like the angle as well. Even though it's quite... off-balanced, in a sense, it still feels balanced, if you get what I mean?
Lovely stuff, anyway.

Thanks, glad you like it. Yeah I took it on Christmas Day at my Grandpas house and it turned out much better then I expected. He had an old swing set in the backyard that my Mom had used when she was a kid, and it was snowing beautifully so I went out at took two photos of the swingset, and this was the 1st one (2nd one wasn't as good). I switched back to using the Diana F+ without the 16 image 4x4 mask to get the larger negatives, and I used a 55mm wide angle Diana lens so I could more "accurately compose" an image when I wanted to, which resulted in the photo having really strong vignetting I wanted, thus giving the almost circular frame. Yeah the balance & angle turned out interesting, I think the off balanced angle combined with the Diana lenses odd blurring effects helped give the swing a sense of motion, which I think really helps the mood of the photo. Thanks again for your great comments & critiques :]

Aww...
Oh right, I see.
Indeed... sounds somewhat complicated, but I guess if you're used to it, then it's almost second nature, right?

Yeah, after you do it enough times you get a feel for it.
