be used to have fun, make
your friends and dogs smile, and enjoy the freedom of experiment.The
Actionsampler is an easy entree to exploring the world of moving pictures.
Shoot from the gut, without having to worry for even a second.
Sexy Shutters:
The Actionsampler Flashes' heart lies in its four-lens sequential face, a
design miracle pioneered in our original Actionsampler camera. Advancing
your film serves to cock an ingenious circular shutter. A quick touch of
the shutter release sends this circle into motion, exposing a quarter
frame of your image each 1/4 of a second. Original Actionsampler
aficionados will note the increased lens quality, sharpness, and contrast
of the new Actionsampler Flash.
Mirror Gloss:
Shooting for maximum impact, the Actionsampler Flash is clad in a
charcoal-grey, mirror-gloss finish. As if an insanely bright 4-step flash
wasn't enough of a pleasant how-d'you-do, the camera's sleek skin works to
additionally attract fond attention your way. With camera firmly in hand,
you are poised to both be the life of the party and relentlessly
photograph it.
Film Feeding:
All 35mm films will work wonderfully with your Actionsampler Flash. For
daytime shooting, 100 ASA color negative is a glowing choice. At night,
step up to 800 ASA for better light sensitivity. Try cross processing a
slide film roll for other-worldly, yellow-submarine color effects. Load a
high-speed black and white film for a high-grain, high-drama film noir
shoot.
Pop..Pop..Pop..Pop:
The Actionsampler Flash's powerful 4-punch burst of light is no joke. In
really dark situations, it's obnoxious enough to satiate even the hardest
core of flash-light hooligans. Each individual unit fires perfectly in
sync with each opening shutter. Your Actionsampler Flash is excellent at
parties, a crowd pleaser at concerts, and especially thrilling at
breakdancing shows.
Day into Night and Vice-Versa:
No longer bounded by the whim and want of the sun, your Actionsampling is
now hot and available 24 hours a day. Once you encounter a
less-than-very-bright situation, including indoors, flip up the flash and
fire away. Your action is back, sharp as a tack and bathed in light. Try
the flash in the sunlight as well, especially with your subject's head
blocking out the sun. Magical!
The Power and the Glory:
Two "AA" batteries are required to power your flash, and are happily
included in the camera package. The recycle time is a fast 7 to 10 seconds
in-between shots, keeping you in-step with your action-packed
surroundings. Keep your shooting range tight and close for maximum
flashing impact, and be sure to give your potential subjects absolutely no
warning of the 4-flash onslaught coming their way.
Get a Little Closer:
Don't be shy. A wise man once said, Get as close to the objects of your
Lomographic desire as possible. Take that sage advice and hold it dear to
your bosom - it is the key to success. The Actionsampler Flash's lenses
are starving for content - fill them up with up-close noses, bright eyes,
headlights, seashells, insane shoes, haughty cows, and other
unmentionables.
Change up the Action:
Move your lazy 'ol behind off the chair and snap away. Keep your subject
still and run around him/her/it like a true chicken without a head,
sampling madly as you go. Then, switch it on them and keep still while
your subject hops all around. The key: the more dynamic & experimental
your technique, the more subjective, existential, and even DIVINE your
Action Samples will be.
Sampling-Splashing:
Really, how many times have you looked at sequential multi-lens images and
envisioned a Warhol-esque color progression bursting out of them? Let your
desire guide you into the photo supply store for some colored plastic gel
filters. Cut 'em up, stick a different color on each individual flash
unit, and let loose. Get close, and splash each square with a different
gorgeous color.
