| Re-cast your world in a gorgeous riot of color! Snap up 35mm photos with this unique-looking little fella, and paint your images with a splash of color, day or night!
Its patented colorwheel system puts several tinted flash filters at your finger tips for instant selection; with an additional 9 filters included to exchange. Long exposure capability creates dreamy streaked backgrounds behind crisp, color-flashed foregrounds.
Colorsplash is now the next step in the continuing development of the Lomographic battery of instruments. In the Colorsplash world you can manipulate the colours on your Lomographs: With a colored flash by day or at night, by playing on the colored artificial lighting at night, by varying the type of 35mm film you use (see Techniques for a very rousing how-to). If you are holding the Colorsplash Camera and/or the Colorsplash Flash in your hand, then you're holding precisely the right tool to really get down to some serious experimentation with colors.
Functions:
Color Wheel:
Alongside a glossy plastic body lies the color-bursting electric soul of Colorsplash - the mechanical Color Wheel flash. A flick of the wrist is all that's required to choose between one of three different color filters or a standard white flash. When you're ready for a switch, two of the interchangeable filters can be replaced with one of the 9 additional filters that you will receive with the Flash. Snap away, and take photo 1 in blue, photo 2 in red, photo 3 with no color, and so on.
Exposure:
Colorsplash has two exposure controls: Long Exposure and Instant Exposure. A flick of the handy little switch alternates between these two modes.
During Long Exposure, the shutter will stay open for as long as you depress the release button. The Color Wheel flash is synched for the end of your exposure, meaning that when you release the button, the flash will fire a split-second before the shutter closes. This allows for the greatest of Colorsplash effects - sharp, colored, flashed foregrounds set against dreamy, natural, blurry backgrounds. Instant Exposure mode both releases the shutter and fires the flash when you press the button; producing nearly monochromatic crazy-contrast shots or fairly normal white-light flash shots.
Skin:
A modular three-piece formal suit for the Colorsplash. Crafted in stretchy synthetic fabric, the "skin bag" keeps your camera's most essential parts free from dust and very stylishly dressed. During transport, the top "skin" protects the lens and the flash "skin" covers the entire flash assembly. When duty calls, merely rotate the top "skin" down and stow away the flash "skin" on the included wrist strap. You're ready to shoot.
Design:
Coated in high-gloss molded white plastic, the Colorsplash itself attracts almost as much attention as the gorgeous photos it spits out. One half science fiction-futuristic, and one half 1960's retro-mod, its shiny coating and radical shape are pure eye candy to the hungry stares of onlookers and style-freaks.
