The Lomography World Congress London 2007
17 - 23 September
First and foremost, and without much ado:
This is your personal invitation to the 7th Lomography World Congress in London, United Kingdom, from the 17th to 23rd of September, 2007, and a call for you to be one of the creators of the greatest Lomographic exhibition of all times, to be on display just there - on the LomoWorldWall at Trafalgar Square in London.
Shot 12 exposures but only 3 came out. Most of the shots were underexposed, shot inside a great, funky discount-supermarket in Pleasant Hill. Really disappointed they did not come out. But live and learn, right?
I am taking my first two rolls of 120, Fujichrome Velvia 100 that I shot on my Holga in for development tomorrow. Hmm, I should actually drive down to Dublin tonight and drop them off so they can develop them first thing in the morning. Otherwise it will be tomorrow afternoon before I even get there. Anxious to see how these come out.
I have been having an experience recently of being able to visualize Lomo-graphic images in my head while I am just out and about. One place I would love to do a documentary study with both hi-fi and lo-fi photography is supermarkets. The colors in these places, plus, the characters you find are just mind blowing. Have to find a way to become sneaky about getting these photos though. When I took the shots with the Diana last week it's pretty easy because no one gets freaked out by a big fancy camera.
Let's see, what else is there. Oh yeah, my Dualflex III arrived over the weekend. Now I have to create the attachment with which I will mount my DSLR to it so that I can shoot through the lens.
Oh and I shot another roll of 120 film (Ilford HP5 Plus ASA 400) in my Brownie Junior pinhole. Also figured out that I do not need to respool the film for 620 as I first thought I did. Took these shots outside on a cloudy day last week with very brief exposures (no longer than 2 seconds). So we will see if THESE come out...
Hope you are all well and enjoying life and creating images...
Photoshop Lomography Photo Action at Emanuele FeronatoFound a sample of this technique on Flickr this morning so googled it and found this guys "easy way" to Photoshop your images. Apparently there are precoded "actions" that you can download that people have already made to do all sorts of things. I found one that allows you to convert any photo to an "infrared" photo! Here are some samples.
