Lomo-Junkies

Lately, I really get myself into the lomography. From searching for Lomography cameras to learning how to make a "lomo-look-alike" picture.

In Lomography, the most significant things are, saturation, vibration and vignette effect. Now, you could either buy one of those "vintage lomo-cameras" (such as Holga, Diana, Lomo LC-A...etc), or a more modern version of lomo-cameras (fuji mini 7s and 25) then you are only one step away from showing your lomo-masterpiece. Please be aware that, all the vintage lomo cameras are either using the 35mm film (standard photography film which are easy to find at your nearby shops) or a medium format - 120mm film (it's quite difficult to buy it directly, but you could easily purchase them online). On the other hand, Fuji mini 7s and 25 are using the instax (instant film) which work like polaroid. Apart from the instant film, Fuji cameras are considering more affordable than those vintages one, but of course you can attract more attention when you walk around with your "grandma" camera around your neck :)

The last solution for those who don't want to invest for "another" camera, you can still use your current digital camera, but then you just need to venture your photo editing program to get the precise "lomo" feeling on your picture. Just remember what I wrote above, lomography is all about saturation, vibration and vigenette effect.

Have fun.....
