Been watching people do lomo effect with photoshop and also some using their lomo camera. I thought I give it a try as well. To start off I took one of Nicole’s picture which didn’t turn out too well and did some editing, to my suprise I kinda like it. Though the facial expression isn’t what most photographers want but somehow with the color tone and contrast settings, I like it! haha that’s all I have to say, its just my preference.

Oh yea..for those who are asking whats lomo?

lomography is the art of casual, snapshot photography using low-fidelity cameras. Unconventional characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, distortion and alternative film processing are often considered part of the “Lomographic Technique.”

the 10 Golden Rules of Lomography,
1. Take your Lomo everywhere you go
2. Use it anytime - day and night
3. Lomography is not an interference with your life but a part of it
4. Shoot from your hip
5. Approach the object of your lomographic desire as close as possible
6. Don’t think
7. Be fast
8. You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film
9. afterwards either
10. ignore all the golden rules

if you ask me..lomography is the art of taking bad pictures which turns out good due to the lack of thinking and I guess it brings out the artistic side of the picture. Having to ignore composition and all the other techniques in photography makes this “lomography” a world of its own. Pictures may look mundane and over saturated or distorted..but hey.thats how its suppose to be

Here’s a video on lomography.
