Hi! I have been trying to learn to take pleasing photos with the gameboy camera. It’s quite tricky due to limited resolution and aspect ratio but super fun! Is there anything I can look to do to improve the framing or quality of my shots?
Why would you want to improve them? This is exactly how they’re supposed to be.
There’s an allegorical painting in the Taoist tradition with Buddha, Confucius, and Lao Tze each tasting vinegar. Buddha looks like he’s in pain after tasting it because life is suffering. Confucius is angry because it’s not pleasing. Lao Tze is smiling because vinegar is supposed to taste like that and he appreciates it for what it is.
This photo is vinegar.
Wow, it looks awesome. Great use of a restrictive image format!
I was reading about these a while ago. I saw pictures someone had made by taking shots through filters for red, green, and blue and then editing them together for a color image. It looked neat, but I had thought about taking that same idea, but just doing duotone photos with different filters and palettes.
You’d have to figure out a tripod for the gameboy to get consistent shots and get the filters, but it seems pretty doable.
Limited resolution you say?
I think it’s a very unique and creative idea! I like it! 😊
Why is the Red Alert 2 intro playing in my head?
I remember a guy did something similar: Awesome Race Car Photos Shot with a Modded Game Boy Camera
He modded the camera to mount normal dslr lens, you could try that. This feels like the next Frank Ocean album cover, love it.

as nice at it may be it seems rather dead
There’s no such thing as a dead comm on Lemmy, they can be dormant, but it really only takes one person to start posting there to wake it up
