This image has a bit of a fun origin
This is a picture of a 3D printed miniature Krusty placed in front of a computer monitor displaying an image of mountain view. It was taken using a 1960s 16mm Soviet projector lens adapted (after a couple hops) to a Lumix G9. The image was then ran through Lightroom, Audacity, Lightroom again, and the parental advisory logo was added afterwards using Gimp.
The model is roughly 1 inch tall.
The model was unpainted at the time of the photo and I have since given the model to a friend. Though I’ll probably print more of him.

this is why AI generated images will never take over from human made art

This is cool. I like seeing people get creative with photos. AI and CGI is cool, but there’s nothing like shit being real

You had me at 1960s 16mm Soviet projector lens adapted to a Lumix G9
Old glass on new cameras is the fucking best
And this one is super weird, I’m able to focus on things behind what’s in front of the lens
Honestly I’m so happy I bought this lens because of how strange it is, it makes photos seem like they’re out of a dream

Now that’s a wide aperture if I’ve ever seen one
It’s a 50mm f/1.2 lens
This thing is wild
- miss_brainfart ( @miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
f/1.2 can do that?
Oh damn, I didn’t realize
It’s the largest aperture lens I have otherwise I’d do more testing to see for sure but the screen behind the miniature in that video is only about a foot behind the mini
I’ve seen lenses with as high as f/0.95 for sale on Amazon with some really good reviews, but I haven’t bought one yet
Also a little fun fact about the lens I have, it has no built in aperture control, it’s always f/1.2
- miss_brainfart ( @miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
lenses with as high as f/0.95
That sounds like something I can’t afford, which I why I like vintage lenses so much. So cheap for what you get
They’re not as expensive as I initially thought it they’re still more expensive than vintage glass. I think my lens cost like $100 after shipping.
Edit: But vintage lenses do have some interesting traits that you really don’t seem to get from modern lenses due to each of their individual histories.

Wtf, I just tried to print this model from thingiverse!
Z axis was skipping steps for some reason… I’ll have to give it another shot today.
Keep at it, its a tough print on an FDM machine for sure
This is the version I printed on my resin machine, I haven’t even tried it on my FDM machines
