If you want to achieve stunning photos with the use of backlight or silhouettes, our Tipster of the Week is just what you need! Just by setting the right ISO, you can get these kinds of photos.

In this tipster, I want to give lomographers a tip for shooting beautiful and lovely backlight photos. Isn’t it great to have nice blue colour on the sky and those high contrasting colours of the subject you are shooting? I personally love it. There is a simple way to get these kinds of lovely shots, which I found out around two years back.

Our Tipster of the Week goes to bao_wei! Read his full article entitled Easy Steps for Taking Beautiful Backlight Photos. Congratulations, bao_wei. You get 10 Piggies!

How to Make a Fully Functional 110 Film Developing Reel

How to Make a Fully Functional 110 Film Developing Reel Just last week I placed a bid on a lovely camera: a Pentax Auto 110. This small but very well built camera is the cutest and tiniest SLR I have ever seen. When I won the auction I started preparing for its arrival: buy some batteries, order some film, find a developing reel... And that's where I ran into trouble! As hard as I tried, I couldn't find a reel to develop 110 film, anywhere! So I had to pull up my sleeves and get dirty.

Redscale your Instax Pictures!

Redscale your Instax Pictures! No matter what camera, subject, or weather conditions, redscale film has never let me down.

Turns out it's very easy and works rather well!
