otnaicus · 25th April 2004

Curious.... Can I ask what lomography is all about?? Thanks...

chelsea · 25th April 2004

Lomography is about taking photo using Lomo..
and lomo is a camera..

What's so great about Lomo camera, u may ask..
check out the website and u will know -> http://www.lomography.com/

in short, its one of those MTV-generation fads....
originated from the russian brand of cheaply produced cameras that produces light leaks so stylisticallly that it becomes 'dreamy', it now develops into a category of its own.
overcrash> lomo originals are those like the LCA... of cos it'll be good if u can get your hands on the older ones manufactured before the fad. those will likely to be antiques and collectables and rare. Saw someone selling the LCA at 255 in the buy/sell section not long ago. The cheaper alternative will be getting the Holga which is an 'imitation' also using the plastic lenses. Its all a matter of preferences. I've seen some really amazing sequential shots composed with the samplers as well and most samplers are affordable well below the 100 mark.

There is a corner shop in Far East Plaza, Level ONE, that sells many lomo cameras.

And around the corner is a toy shop, where I got my fake-o cybersampler at $20! It works fine after I brought it back to exchange. Good to use, because now I'm quite sick of it, no waste of $100 or so. heh.

tingchiyen · 29th April 2004

You can pick up actionsamplers from Ruby as well, as well as the panoramic and color-gel flash ones (dunno what they're called...)...

think i got my actionsampler for just under a $100? can't remember also...

...

yamcake · 29th April 2004

hey... quite interested in this too.. sounds fun.

but lomo cams uses the usual film? or what?

lurgee · 29th April 2004

Hi all,

i've been into lomography for almost a year now and i must say that it's been really fun!

basically lomography is also a form of photography and it's really about getting out there and just shoot. no rights or no wrongs. it's about the nice saturated colours you get from the cam and of course the vignetting. it's about experimenting and just having fun.

i suggest getting the mother of all lomos if you can afford one which is the lomo lc-a. it's a small black camera that can be easily brought around so that you wont miss any photographic moment. heh.

it has a old feel to it and of course it's russian.

all lomo cams use film and they also have 120 format cams like the holga.

you can get lomo cams from Ruby, Hooked Clothings at Far East Level One, PageOne at Kino and a couple more places which i can't remember. Visit the Singapore lomo embassy site at http://www.ffurious.com. You can of course try ebay also.

Hope i've been of some help.

yamcake · 29th April 2004

you certainly did...

made me very tempted to try lomo... means more... $$

foxtwo · 29th April 2004

there's a guy in our forum trying to sell his lomo lc-a,
