Did you ever want to take a photo of a subject that is closer than 1m from the lens using the Smena 8M? Or did you want to make a self-portrait with your Smena 8M? I think I've got the solution for you!

In Volume 3 of What It Takes, I dive into the world of respooling film to bring back an old bakelite 620 box camera that wants you to think it's a TLR. Spoiler alert: it's not!

I spent a whole year taking photos of my baby and one thing that quickly became apparent was the difference between eyes being in focus and eyes that weren't and the effect on the photo. Although we're almost taught to break the rules I still believe the eyes are just as important in Lomography.

My Pentax K1000 is probably one of my favourite cameras to use. I find it a good, sturdy SLR. What is even better about this bad boy however is that is was totally free and second hand when I got it!

In the first installment of my regular series What it Takes, I transform a dirty but unusual old half-frame camera from a grimy mess into a fantastic photographic workhorse using nothing but some elbow grease and a spot of glue. Read about the transformation after the jump.

This simple modification will remove the stop peg on your Holga lens allowing you to use close focus (turn the focus ring further than the one person photo), create a pinholga without breaking your camera or generally do anything you want a permanently removable lens for.
-
Are you thinking about buying a Holga? What about a TLR camera? You might want to read about my first experience of using either and both, through the Holga TLR camera!

Here is a tipster that will show you how you can get the focus right every time. All you have to do is measure the distance between your camera and the subject that you are shooting.

We could qualify in the initiative of Litherland, a photographer who intends to send kits with analog cameras for people to make a single photo and yield the case to someone else to do the same. Want to know more about this initiative?

Anyone who has spent enough time in the Lomo Society will have a faint idea of some popular tricks people like to do which give you great results! So this Tipster is for all the Lomo-Beginners out there! (Not saying that I am in any way an expert on these! I just happened to see other people doing them and felt like spreading the idea for the newbies!)

I got lots of unwanted blurry pictures with my LOMO LC-A+ so I tried to fix it by my own and I want to share my results.
-
After my friend gave me a Fisheye camera, I began to use it to capture my daily life. Now with the new LC-A+, life will become even more fantastic.

When we get comfortable with modern digital cameras or with the Diana F+ 120 film format and then start using the 35mm back for the Diana F+, most of the times we have a hard time getting the framing right and knowing what will come out on the negative/slide.

Using a bigger aperture and closer focus for bokeh effect in night photography.
Next time you are out galavanting at night with your Diana Mini, stop using the flash, and decide to engage in some nightime photography while also trying to have some fun with the focus and depth of field effect (bokeh).
-
Remember the final golden rule? Don't worry about breaking the bokeh rules.
-
I did some tests to compare the Diana MINI field of view to the field of view of some other well known cameras. I also tested how much of a difference focus really makes with the Diana MINI.

The best thing about finding a "new" old camera in your aunt's or grandparent's house is the day when you get the results without knowing if the camera was broken and of course the attempts of fixing the camera with your hands if it's broken or just cleaning it to start taken awesome pics and amazing shots!
-
Don’t worry about the distance anymore! Be always in focus for your macro shots!

It is my latest discovery to carry such a special canon on my hand.
