Glitch Dammit, Glitch! In Oliveira Do Bairro With The 'New' Failing Sensor Canon Powershot A80

I've been a bit slow posting a couple of updates to this blog. It's been a little 'life busy', and I've just not really got around to it. Anyhow unforgivable oversight, really, bearing in mind how much I adore these failing sensor A80s. Anyhow, a week or so ago, my better half went to Oliveira do Bairro, so of course I tagged along, bringing the failing sensor A80s and the circuit bent G6 Thumb Camera with me.

I've already posted the report of the G6 Thumb Camera. I'm really happy with how the circuit bending worked, and now I want to do another, but these failing sensor A80s are really a law unto themselves. My original A80 is getting worse (or better depending on how you feel about what it's producing now), so I picked up another A80 that I hoped behaves in a similar way. Snag is, it doesn't. Yes, the first couple of frames glitch wonderfully. But then the sensor warms up, or stabilises, or whatever it does, and it just stops glitching.

Well, that's not strictly true, it's still glitching, but in a more 'normal' way. Greens and blues, and yellows come out normal-ish, but whites and light greys have a really strong pink cast to them. It looks like the sensor is starting to glitch, but it's not got there just yet. That day in Oliveira was quite dull, so I really need to see how it performs on a sunny day. (I thought this week might be good, but the nice weather at the start of the week has gone as tempestade Therese passes overhead.)

If you're interested, I’ve posted the whole series in an album on my Joomeo (https://public.joomeo.com/albums/69ba57623e0da) if you want to see the rest of the images.
