Lomography

Single-lens-reflex (SLR) cameras have for decades been on the forefront of enthusiast and professional camera development. Sharp lenses, perfect exposure meterin,g and precise autofocus aren't really features that you would look for in Lomography, but they do come to a great use in Infrared Photography - as long as a few precautions are taken. See below.

If you were to be married somewhere in the Eastern Block during the 1980-ies, this would probably be the camera your wedding would be photographed with. Built like a tank, this monstrosity of East German camera engineering will take you on Lomographic journeys never possible before.

By spraying your film with water and exposing it briefly to the darkroom safelight, you can make all sorts and shapes of bubbles, drops and droplets shine on your home developed colour film.

We all shoot our films, some of us also process and scan it, but I prefer the convenience of the commercial labs for the purpose. Guess my surprise when I got totally different scans from the same roll! This GIMP tutorial covers the basic technique that I used to rectify the problem on one of my first home-made Redscale rolls. Although a digital computer and a software program is used, I do not consider that a manipulation, but rather "fixing" an error that has been made by another computer program elsewhere. We are going to analyze the histogram and based on some basic knowledge about film and exposure, we are going to get the redscale film to look like it was originally intended.
