Some people hate it, while some people don't. The measure of light in a Lomograph when it is too much might be a mistake but worry not for it can also be really beautiful!
Over exposed Lomographs can really be a drag sometimes. When you’ve pushed your aperture too high and a lot of light seeps in, then that means a lot of tones and a splash of washed colour! But in this wonderful world of analogue, over exposed Lomographs can also be the most beautiful!
That’s why in this week’s gallery post, we have decided to showcase 50 amazing over exposed Lomographs in our Community! Enjoy!
LomoGuru: Whynotwinnipeg His LomoHome username may sound like a tribute to the country he currently resides but aside from that patriotic fact, this guy from Canada has more than his LomoHome name to boot!
Newcomer of the Week: Ohlordy One chance with analogue photography and boom, he was hooked! Discovering the fun Lomography has by series of beautiful accidents sure brought him into lots of analogue fun!

@mayeemayee thanks for including my pics. mainly the ice-mobile because i really like this shot a lot just because it is so overexposed. i have another correct exposed shot of it with another cam and it´s not looking half as good ;)
Thanks :) when I got the negatives back from the lab, I was really sad that they were that much overexposed, and thought that I could throw away the whole film. But after scanning, I loved the effect! And seeing this amazing gallery shows me that I'm not the only one :)
Some great inspiration here. The great thing about film is it forces you to look at the results. You can't chimp and immediately delete an image. Its always there and can often surprise.

LomoGuru of the Week: Earlybird His trademark black and white portraits have become very popular in our Community. His username rings a loud bell, too. Well, I guess it's just time for us to publish an interview with this guy from Germany!
The Lomographer at Work: Welcome to My Studio I wanted to present my work and where I realize my ideas. After leaving my job teaching art, I decided to devote myself to the evolution of my personal work. That's why I converted part of my home into an art studio.
