Shadow-sink. When we first moved into our house we nicknamed it "Spiderhaus" because it was full of spiders. But now I call it Shadowhaus because it produces amazing shadows in all seasons of the year.

Blurry clouds hang over a frozen pond with a hockey goal visible at left and a dead tree on the horizon at right. It looks like a double exposure but actually a strong wind gust moved the camera, which was mounted on a tripod on the ice, partway through the shot.

The sun produces a distinctive circular diffraction flare with this camera, similar to that of a Holga. In this case, the flare fills the entire image, which was supposed to be portrait of my cat, backlit by the sun.
