Lomography.

Contains persons of a recognisable trouserage, drinking, lurching, holiday snaps, poor focus and shoddy composition.

These are brilliant for Lomographs...mine always turned out totally shecht.

Ta. I suspect the really good ones were done with an Olympus XA, but it took me about six months and a lot of film to work out how to stand very still or find something to wedge the camera on.

And that's about thirty images from, um, 12 rolls. There are some other good ones, but those are my favourites thus far.

hey - i'm in one of those, and i don't even look like a complete minger! colour me impressed on that, then.

Oh, very well done. I particularly like the mirrored shot.

Thanks. I like the way it's hard to spot the photog.

That lot is bloody fine stuff.

At some point, i must acquire a proper lomo, rather than simply slapping a slightly-to-predictable potatoshop filter on me digital work. I was chuffed to discover that that my big digital is on speaking terms with the shonky lomo flash you can get that can be made to fires in different colours, though. Must get one of them first.

They're on ebay for only slightly silly money. Certainly less silly than the recon ones from the Lomography shop.

Or you could bag an XA2. Dead cheap, much better build quality and lens. Mine cost about 15 quid inc. flash unit.

[tashaa]

where were the photos actually taken?

[hirez]

Um... Lundy, Whitby, Tyntesfield, The Shaven Crown, Stratford (London), Devon, Clevedon, Oldbury-on-Severn, Pontypool, Oak Bluffs (MA, USA).
