From the Manufacturer
---------------------
From the Manufacturer With the compact Colorsplash in your
hands, you're ready and armed to repaint your whole environment.
Everything that you see around you is subject to manipulation and
capture through its sharp little lens. Rotate the integrated
flash Color Wheel and choose from a selection of colored flash
lights to toss upon your subject. The elements of exposure time,
flash color, subject color, exterior light, and the manic
curiosity of your lomographic eye come together to yield an
endless number of potential techniques and outcomes. Remember,
"colorsplash" is a philosophy. This is merely your tool to get
there.
Colorsplashing?
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 . 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.
From the beginning, the Colorsplash needed to deliver beautiful
form in addition to function - a handsome conversation piece that
feels just as comfortable under the adoring eyes of
design-vultures as it does in the sweaty hands of a hard-working
hyperactive lomographer. Our resultant Colorsplash camera is the
product of these intense brainstorming, design, and
caffeine-charged sessions. Fully conceived and developed by the
hardcore Lomographers of our Lomographic Society, it will do for
you what it has done for us: whet your creative appetite, open
your photographic world, and compel you to see your environment
in a brand-new spectrum of 12 tiny color gels.
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 s or fairly
normal white-light flash s.
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.
