Holga Camera Photographs
Photography gets even more fun – introducing the Canon 60D
A birthday gathering, a family holiday or just a day at the park – photography has the ability to make any occasion all the more memorable. For many photography enthusiasts, digital SLR cameras and photo editing software have opened up a whole new way to experiment with imagery and get creative.
Turn your run of the mill photographs into something unique and extraordinary, or just something worth a chuckle. Digital camera effects and filters, like those featured in the new Canon EOS 60D let you take your images to a whole new level. Gain some new perspective on your surroundings with these fun effects:
-
Toy camera effect- remember those cheap plastic bits and bobs that were your “first camera”? Their unpredictable nature makes toy cameras quite a unique tool when it comes to artistic photography. The toy camera filter on the new 60D simulates this amateur appearance, also known as the Holga effect. It includes vignetting, which reduces the brightness and saturation of the image towards the edges, and a softer focus.
Miniature effect – see your world in a whole new way. Tilt shift photography creates the unique miniature effect that has certainly gained its own online audience. The effect alters the plane of focus so that the image has a shallow depth of field. The Canon miniature effect filter simulates this tilt-shift method to create that mini appearance.
- Soft focus effect - a softer focus creates that surreal, dreamlike effect in your photos. This is a popular way to style portraits, glamour shots and wedding photos.
- Black and white grainy effect - this effect creates the grainy or noisy effect that comes with older black and white movies and photographs. The result is a retro looking image with emphasis on contrast and grain.
Meanwhile, high quality photo printing lets you get even more creative with your shots. Why not create a “miniatures” calendar of the cities you’ve visited or frame your favourite glamour shots of your loved ones?
Other features of the Canon EOS 60D
Meanwhile, Canon’s latest addition to its ever popular EOS range, the 60D, offers you greater flexibility and control over your photographs. In addition to the four unique filters, this new model includes:
- Vari-angle LCD monitor with full 180 degree rotation that lets you take pictures from new angles
- Ability to capture Full HD quality movies
- Movie Crop to crop into a scene and get closer to your subject when shooting in Standard Definition
- 18 megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor
Canon’s range of EOS cameras offers you the ability to make the most of your photographs – and now you can be even more inventive with the images you create.
