It's another month and Lomographic luminary mephisto19 has another rumble he cooked up for the rest of the community. Be careful not to burn yourself though, as this one is scorching!
This rumble is about a mistake. You surely heard of the three shot rule? No? After inserting a film you should take three blank photos to avoid any light damage. But that is what makes a photo interesting. Once you discovered that, you can play with it and create something out of the burned beginning of every film.
The other mistake happens if you open the back of your camera, the 120 film is not tide to the spool or you want it to happen – light leaks.
For this rumble show your six best pictures of light leaks and burned beginnings, open backs and this orange flare like fire.
Please keep in mind to use only analogue photos, not digitally manipulated, ADDALLMETADATA that is needed (film, camera, location, three tags,…) Winners will receive some piggy points

Great, just wrote a blog entry about the burnt picture of the film! (: But haven't published yet. And I'm just saying 'cause I think coincidences are funny! Lomo on! P.S. - If the winners receive "some" piggy points we should be allowed to also put "some" metadata! :P
we should totally ditch that rule. i absolutely love getting the weird photos at the beginning of the roll. i think you'll get more of the full frame redscale-ish shots if you load film in not so dark places? hmm correct me if i'm wrong. here are some of my photos,
@paper_doll ja... There is a total of piggies that I can spend but no number of winners. So it has to stay with "some piggies" while the META DATA a general thing is...

Capture The Moment Competition: 15th May 2013 15:15:15 CET The essence of photography is about capturing those special moments, those instants where time stands still and an image is perfectly framed in front of your eyes. As Lomographers, we are especially in tune with these unique times in life. We love to forget the rules, ditch the viewfinder and snap those special times as they flash before our eyes. Well for this rumble, that’s exactly what we are you to do. In the month of May, we have picked 3 exact moments where we want Lomographers around the world to stop and take an analogue photo! And of course, we have some awesome prizes on offer for the best entries!
The Meopta Stereo 35 aka The View-Master Camera In my junior year of college, I had a crazy idea for a project for my directed study class. I wanted to create my own view-master reels, and to my surprise a view-master camera not only existed, but was available for purchase. Everything about this camera was a difficult trial and error challenge, but the end results are a one of a kind gem.
for special offers, tips & tricks, free photo upload, prize-winning competitions and a magazine full of: locations, art, design, reviews and everything analogue photography.

The first time I try to get a light leak by opening my camera back, I burned about 3 quarters of the whole roll. That was really an experience :')

@saidseni: "If the winners receive "some" piggy points, we should be allowed to also put "some" metadata!" lol very true.

My photolab yelled at me for being so careless but I love the light leaks! They can add so much atmosphere :)

i thought it was a disaster after opening my film back accidentally exposing the negative but this rumble made it all worthwhile.
