For subtle speckles and washes of colour, all you need is a little lemon juice.
After exposing the film, simply leave the canister soaking in a cup of lemon juice, the longer left the more increased result. For these photos I waited 45 minutes – 1 hour. The next step is to dry the film. in a darkroom (I used my bathroom with the lights off), unravel the film from the canister and dry manually with a hair-dryer until the film is no longer slimy and moist.
Finally – take your film to your local lab, and admire all your lovely lemon Lomo’s. I used a Diana Mini with Fujifilm Superia X-tra 400.

I love this tipster! Lemon juice has become my favorite!
@hughh, I've found that straight up lemon juice does the job great! In fact, the more destruction, the better.
@kikomana78, It's quite easy to just rewind the film back into the canister -- that way, the local film lab won't give you too much trouble about how damaged the film may be.

Use Two 110 Films on a 35mm Camera for Crazy Awesome Shots So there are a lot of tipsters and hacks on the web for using 35mm film on different format cameras, so I went and tried using 110 on a 35mm camera, and this is pretty much what I got on my first try. It’s a bit of a process, but it’s also lots of fun, then again, what in Lomography isn't?
Camera Modification: Turn your LC-A+ into a Rainbow Camera! Personally I am a huge fan of redscaling. It allows you to get some color in your photos, even on the grayest of days. But what if you just want to add the redscale effect to just some of your photos rather than shooting an entire roll this way? Easy enough: use a red filter! And while you're at it, why not throw in some other colors as well?! Read on to find out how you can turn your LC-A+ in to a rainbow camera!
