I dont own an IPhone....

But i wanted in on the action!

Although slightly gimmicky, i actually quite like the results people have been getting from the various iPhone apps that are popular at the moment.
Seeing as i was bored and completely unimpressed by the majority of images i took on holiday last month i decided to see if i could get similar results with them.

Anyone else got anything similar?

Or you could get a Holga, it's a lot cheaper than an iphone and it's classic cool http://shop.lomography.com/

Haha, yeah.

I've actually got a couple of old Lomo cameras kicking about the house, but thats an entirely different story.
I was just mucking about through boredom today and these are the results.

Wow, cool! Sorry I do not want to drag this thread off topic, but can someone tell me more about these cameras? I've see these type of photos before and always thought they were cool and wondered how they were done etc. Would deffo be interested in buying one to have a play with it - would be great to bring on holidays...

So many cameras to choose from, how do I choose? Is the developing of the film normal or do you have to get it done somewhere special?
Thanks

Fvck me, they're pricey. They list the Fed3 at about 4 times the price I paid for it on fleabay!

The best iPhone app EVER is Shazam. You know when you are listening to the radio and hear a song but don't know artist. Simply, engage Shazam on your phone and it will tell you song, artist and, natch, let you buy the tune there and then.


Err... nice photos BTW. Courtown?

No use for photography though

Besides, Soundhound is better.


I got the Lomo Fisheye 2 ages ago and only put one roll through it. Novelty wore off very quickly. I bought a friend of mine a Holga that she used a fair bit, with mixed results before, before going back to her bridge camera.
I don't know anyone who uses one regularly, everyone just seems to go through a lomo phase now and then.

That said, the 360 degree one and the instax backs for the Diana and LC-A are interesting.

The iPhone has a camera? .... Ohhhh yeah there is a small lens on the back of my new one.

Must try using it

I am actually onto my Phone Company right now. This iPhone does a lot but at the moment is not make or receive phone calls or texts.

I've a diana (with both backs) and a diana mini and tbh I dont get the colour saturation I see in the pictures they use to promote it. Is that because of the film i'm using, regular 400 colour print kodak film? what should i use?

NakedDex

The majority of those promo images are likely shot with Lomo's own X-Pro film. There's also their Redscale film, which are the ones you see with that heavy amber/red colouration.

Bear in mind though that 'lomo' don't actually make any of their own film. They rebrand and re-package other manufacturers film, double the price, and sell it on. The x-pro stuff is either some emulsion from some german manufacturer that's 'tweaked' to look like Agfa, or is some repackaged Agfa aerial film. LSI ain't saying. Dunno what their redscale stuff is, probably superia 100 or something repackaged. Their straight C-41 stuff used to be rebadged superia but they might be using something else now instead.

NakedDex

Yeah I knew it was repackaged, though I didn't know who made the original. They describe the X-Pro as emulsion anyway, so it's not like they've made great lengths to hide it.
