lomo-mania


lomography camera's are prettttty old but theyve made a comeback lately and i'm glad they did!
I bought myself a lomo fisheye last year when i was taking a photography elective at uni. i didnt REALLY need it for the class but i always wanted one and that was a good excuse.

yesterday they held an opening for a lomography exhibition in Hong Kong's times square and ofcourse had a giant camera that had a trampoline in it (because why wouldn't you want to jump in a giant camera?)
you can watch a video of the opening here:

These are some of the photos ive taken with my lomography camera I purchased (shown in the above picture)
they're definitely not the best pictures i was just trying it out and experimenting


I recently also downloaded this app on my ipod that automatically turns your photo into a lomo one, whether you want a fish eye lens or just the colour manipulated
they turned out pretty cool except for the quality of the picture itself due to the poor ipod camera quality
here are some examples of that:

  2. yes we do have a photography elective but it was only basics we didn't learn to develop films in the dark room or anything which would have been cool :(
    um the cameras are actually not that expensive i got mine for about 130 australian dollars with a student discount but it was 150 without the discount
    here's site that can be useful: (just click on shop to find out what's available and the prices)

    and i don't know if they have the polaroid ones i think they only have them in black&white but you can search for it i think they call it "instant cameras"

    hope that was helpful!
