My most spontaneous purchase ever
Hi guys, it's been a while because I've been busy again! Haven't done certain memes or replied comments which I am supposed to, I apologise for that m(_ _)m In any case, onwards to the point of this entry!
I am, I admit, quite the penny pincher (as my mother says, I guard money quite extremely), I compare prices (be it at supermarkets or based on currency exchange or GST differences or shipping differences etc) quite a lot and I tend to be quite calculative (for eg, today while signing up for a 3 month gym package, I was calculating how many days I should go in a week at least to just get my money's worth lol). (Though when I go out with people, I try to be generous particularly to the young'uns or to my grandparents lol).
Today, my sister brought me to a store selling lomography cameras, where I immediately fell in love with them (I apply lomography a lot in my pics recently so it's only natural) and spent a long time picking out one.
With the advice of the storekeeper, I ended up buying this beauty:
Isn't it a thing of beauty? ;A; It's a loving recreation of the 1960 Diana F+ cult plastic cameras♥ Though the body of mine (the pattern part) is wrapped with cloth. It's also a "Lomographic loves Japan" special edition (Kirameki), in which part of the proceeds goes to the Red Cross Japan Relief Fund :D
Camera outside of its box♥ Pics were taken with my normal digital Canon camera btw and Photoshopped to have a Lomo effect because I thought it would be appropriate :'D
Another angle and focus, just cos♥
Photobook that came with it which has Lomo photos and stories for inspiration and reference
Mine comes with a neck strap, lens cap, colour filters, manual, the aforementioned hardcover photo book, and charger. I had to buy 120 film separately though (which at least, I can learn to use my shots wisely I guess). I'll need to get a proper camera case for it (maybe a vintage one if I can find one that fits?). I also haven't decided what to name it yet (yes, I name my gadgets)
I'm still really new to photography, so what better to get more into it by starting with something as lighthearted as lomography? ^^
