Polar Coordinates: A 'Small Worlds' Tutorial
written by buckshot on 2015-01-31There are a bunch of guides available on the net explaining how to create the popular and fun 'small worlds' or 'mini planet' effect. They're all essentially the same, with minor variations, and most recommend starting out with a 360° panorama photo, but I'd like to provide a little walkthrough of the method that works for me using *any* format.

Taking EBS to the next level: Introducing the 'Buckshot EBS Revolver'
written by buckshot on 2014-10-13One of the most creative and impressive techniques I've learned about since joining the Lomography community is the one known as 'exposing both sides', or 'EBS'. Personally, I like this technique best when it's used to create symmetrical shots. However, it's technically very challenging to do (not to mention physically exhausting!), so I decided to try and build a camera that would greatly simplify the process... while at the same time taking it to the next level by using medium-format film, instead of 35mm film. Here's what I came up with.

Buckshot's Mystery Product Launch Countdown: UPDATED on 13 October
written by buckshot on 2014-10-11I've spent the past 5 months conceiving, designing, building and testing a 'mystery' product, and I'm very happy that it is now ready to share with the Lomo community. But all work and no fun is just not my style, so before I unveil the fruits of my hard labour, I thought I'd have a little bit of fun and do a 'teaser' launch like they do for Lomography products these days. So read on, dear friends, and see if you can guess what the mystery invention is before it's revealed to the world...

The LOMO Fotokonstruktor UFK-2: A Riddle Wrapped in a Mystery inside an Enigma
written by buckshot on 2013-11-16OK, so we all know about the wonderful Lomography Konstruktor camera kit, released earlier this year. But did you know about its older, very rare and much weirder daddy: the LOMO Fotokonstruktor UFK-2? No, neither did I. Until a week ago, when a very mysterious package arrived for me, from the secretive former USSR state of Bulgaria...

A pointless statistic just to amuse myself
written by buckshot on 2013-10-25I was curious about which of my cameras I actually shoot with the most, so I decided to look through all my albums on this site (currently 113 in total) and make a tally of which camera each one was shot with. And here, for the benefit of no one in particular, but for my own amusement, are my findings.

Is it fair of LSI to use our shots for their marketing purposes without recompense...?
written by buckshot on 2012-07-05LSI posted a marketing item on Facebook that got massive instant likes, mostly thanks to my shot they used, and I got NOTHING in return! Is that fair...?
