Lomography

Digital film has taken the world by storm, there are many more people embracing a passion for photography than ever before. So, is film photography dying? Lomographic society begs to differ. And I for one am riding on the train with arms flailing incessantly.

Im in love with lomography.

 

Quel est-il? Pretty much lomography is taking a cheap plastic ‘kodak’ camera and POSSIBLY making an interesting and artistic print. You must be very cleaver in choosing the right subject, lighting conditions, etc, and know how to make use of the cameras defects. There is an extremely fine line to creating a good lomography image. Lomography cameras, like the Holga and Diana are made almost entirely out of plastic. They sometimes have problems with light leaks, soft focus or colour fringing because of the poor quality lens, however its this aspect that will create a parfait image IF you know how to take advantage of these defects….key word: IF.

I wanna give it a crack!
