catchlights...u haf been very kind with ur comment...thanks alot of the encouragement

just wondering, did you batch process your photos? in which case you may want to tone down on the vignetting? it works in some, but not in all, and even then perhaps not such harsh vignetting too? maybe gradiate it out a bit more...

for example in the car shot, i think this one wouldn't need any at all. it's a very bright shot to begin with so the vignetting sort of makes it look rather strange.

yes i agree with u...not batch processing but one by one in fact...i think when it gets to the middle part the vignetting gets worse especially when my eyes are already used it looking at it...

the vignetting is becoz wanna create a style of mine....been playing with holga cameras and quite like the vig. and also to create a more focal point for the eyes to go direct to the subject and hide some flaws. i'll be careful with my PP in future and maybe i will go thru these photos and redo some...thank you for your comment

cool man, all for the personal style. However, one thing about holga cameras and lomo stuff in general that makes it work so well is the cross processing. I've always loved the effect of lomo cameras too but i think what makes the vignetting work on thsoe camears is the whole combined 'bad' effect that it has (washed out colours, random composition etc). somehow vignetting on perfectly sharp shots with normal composition (not saying your shots are 'normal' just the composition is what one would expect when you take the time to compose the shots!) might make the shot look rather strange! try doing some digital processing on some of the photos too with the vignetting?

but anyway, i guess we all develop our own style! keep shooting man!
