Rasta Filter for Lomo LC-A+ by life_on_mars

This is a kind of a filter I thought of making for my Lomo LC-A+ that will certainly make your Lomographs more colourful than they already are. For this you will need:

  • 3 sheets of coloured plastics (green, yellow and red)
  • Scissors
  • Hole punch
  • Opaque tape
  • Some music preferably Bob Marley

Just cut some strips the three coloured plastic sheets, approximately 0.5 centimetres in width and 3 centimetres in length. then glue them together afterwards. Now we have a three striped filter! Make a hole using the hole punch in the middle of the filter and you’re done! Just stick it in front of the Minitar-1 lens with an opaque tape.

Remember, like you and me this rasta filter loves the sun. On a sunny day for example you will be better off with a 400 ASA speed film . Do your pictures a bit brighter – and no doubt your mood will be gladder!

Good luck!
