Cameras!

My Girlfrind Kirsty got me a Lomo Action Sampler 35mm camera for Christmas and i got the pictures developed a couple of days back, in all honesty the pictures came out pretty awfully! There seems to be a problem with the flash firing on the 3 and 4 frames due to it not being fully recharged. I think it's a common problem with Lomo cameras (them being a bit crap) but apparently thats what it's all about! Shame it means my 36 exposure film only gets around 4 or 5 half decent images! Oh well first roll of film.. hopefully things will turn out better as i get smarter with taking the pics! My interest in Photography has been rekindled haha !

10 Golden Rules Of Lomo

1. Take your Lomo everywhere you go

This I always do along with an extra roll of film.

2. Use it anytime - day and night

3. Lomography is not an interference with your life but a part of it

It will soon feel natural to take Lomographs of everything.

4. Get as close as possible to the objects of you lomographic desire

I still don't get this right half the time.

5. Don't think

Once you start thinking about composition, the unexpected qualities start to go.

6. Be fast

As fast as you can take you camera from your pocket. For instant reaction, use the supplied wrist strap.

7. You don't have to know beforehand what is on your film

8. Nor afterwards

You will figure it out eventually.

9. Try the shot from the hip

Or from the ground.

10. Don't worry about (golden) rules

Be unique and find your own way.
