I am happy about this one, as Imago Positive Paper is so hard to expose properly. My girl Dudu with one of her spiral artworks. As a background I just hung up her Furoshiki, a handmade silk scarf from Japan. Natural overcast light through the window, 2 second exposure. All those hours of Yoga finally pay off, she can sit really still.
Another round of instant Diana photos from Hawaii. Most of these I give away as a part of my ongoing interactive art. Gearing up for the launch of Dave K's Instant Film Database.
An overwhelming amount of lomographs are shared in the community every month and we cannot help but commend the best of the best. Marvel at this month’s stunning photo showcase and see if any of your favorites made it to the list.
For photographer Maxime Simoncelli, there is magic everywhere. Inspired by fantasy literature and art, he revisits thickets and woods to capture its supernatural beauty and mystery.
Are you wondering what the best photograph on a specific day of 2016 was? Tune in on this special recap where we'll track the daily image that captured the community's attention last year. For March, various urban spaces and its ever-changing geometry was the preferred muse.
Here is a simple DIY hyper-macro tip: #allyouneed is a combo of two lenses and a steady hand. No matter what lenses they are, and no matter if one of them isn't suitable for your camera. #1 Mount the heaviest one on and #2 use it at an aperture that allows the shutter to be fast enough to avoid motion blurs. #3 Now take the other lens #4 set it at full aperture (or not if you like the "vignette" effect i got, but remember: darker view means slower shutter) #5 reverse it against the edge of the mounted lens and keep it in position (Try to match the edges. EG: 49mm inside a 52mm diameter. Whatever, just try to keep 'em alligned) #6. Now you can get really very f*** close to your subject and try to find the focus (play with the focus rings of your lenses: the closer you'll set both the focus points, the closer you'll be able to spy your subject) #depthoffield is very shallow as you can see, but it leads to a breathtaking #bokeh I hope everything's undestandable. Ask any question! All you see is just as it came from the scanner.
It is maybe the closest you will come to the North Pole: the polar region around Ny Ålesund. It is on 79° degrees north, where polar bears play polo and I was farthest from civilization. A tale about 50 shades of ice.
The Kodak Autographic is the first really old camera I bought. I didn’t really know how it worked and had no idea that this nearly century-old camera would kick off a passion for collecting, fixing, and shooting with vintage cameras.
We’re back on track with the Lomopedia series - the place to get a quick heads up on what’s what with cameras, lenses, and films you may come across with. For this comeback installment, we’re taking a look at the simple but dependable Industar 26M 50mm lens.
Over the years, the LC-A evolved into a quiet witness to touching moments. A constant companion on life-changing events. A trusty keeper of once-in-a-lifetime memories. For its 32nd birthday, lomographers from across the globe narrate how this analog wonder became a part of their own history.
After shooting a film, take it into a dark room and open the film. Then sprinkle hot water filled with baking soda all around on the film, with flicking my fingers. Rewind it and put into a pan and pour water, and boiled it for about 5 minutes. Rinse and dry, and cross-deveop it. Done! This psychedelic result is not what I expected. I will cook some more anyway =)
The Lomo LC-A serves as the cornerstone of the Lomography movement. For its 32nd birthday, lomographers from across the globe narrate how this analog wonder became a part of their own history.
For this freaky filmswap, I loaded my camera and strolled around shooting the churches, cemeteries and woods of my town for the first round , then I sent the film to legendary horror-writer Stephen King who shot the second round, adding all the freaky stuff.... Or, uh, something like that...! ;-)
And one made using the 'polar coordinates' technique described here: http://www.lomography.com/homes/buckshot/notes/137394-polar-coordinates-a-small-worlds-tutorial
Water is synonymous to life, but everyone knows this does not apply to the vastness and depths of the Dead Sea. English photographer and wanderlust Maya Beano recollects the time she braved and swam on one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world.
Etienne Despois' first foray into film photography was made possible by a vintage Canon FTb camera he received from his father. Meet our featured community newcomer from Paris, France in this short interview.
Solargraphy is the art of capturing the Sun’s path through pinhole photography. And with World Pinhole Day coming up on Sunday, we took the opportunity to interview Tarja Trygg, the founder of the Solargraphy project, to find out more about this unque and beautifully simple way to take photos!
