Lomography : Don't think, just shoot
http://onezine.s-one.net.sg/_Thur/07032002/Lomography/
Check out this article from Singapore ONE... "Lomography is about taking photographs using the Russian compact camera that has no flash yet produces vibrant photographs." I found the rules 'interesting'... -take your LOMO everywhere you go -use it at any time - day & night -lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it -approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible -don't think (William Firebrace) -be fast -you don't have to know beforehand what is captured on your film -you don't have to know it afterwards either -shoot from the hip -don't care about rules |

It's all marketing man. Rueyloon's already doing the same thing with a Yashica T5 and a Konica Hexar AF. :P

and, braving the flames, to a certain extent, don't all digital photographers subscribe to the "Don't Think, Just Shoot" mentality ?
 /me goes and dons the asbestos underwear and Kevlar fire-proof suit.... |

Yeah, right.
I'd rather save on film costs and buy a used D30. Only SGD$3000 now. |

actually, i am also taking a pot shot at myself - i am not ashamed to say that i have gone down the "just shoot, don't think" route many times (and probably will many times more in future). With digital, its easier cos there is no recurring costs (other than electricity to recharge the batteries), and you dont have incriminating negatives/slides lying around cos all the rubbish has been deleted. And sometimes, its just like a stress releaser - for example, i take my kids out to the park, and when they are playing around, I just shoot shoot shoot - no worries about composition, no worries about exposure, no worries about technicalities...... at the end of the day, maybe one or two nice pics will come out. oyo... after re-reading what i wrote above, ppl may get the wrong idea that i anyhow go out and shoot, shoot, shoot and hope for 1-2 good pics ... muahahaha ... err... actually, for most of the arranged photoshoots, there is *some* thought going into the pics (hee hee ... a disclaimer...). |

Just visit photo.net. take a look at the pictures there.
GENERALLY speaking (there are always exceptions, of course), you can tell which photographers use film, and which use digital. The digital pictures are all the "bo liao" ones. The breathtaking ones are usually film. |

Lomo... My firend has one... Just a fun cam... I'll rather get one of those polaroid cams (but I've already got something more fun). And with "motordrive" on most digital cam, can get similar effect by simple stitching on some image editing program.

But isn't the Lomo also supposed to produce pictures with the colours sort of tinted or shifted, to look more edgy or something?
