I have got a new camera. It is a Lomo Fisheye 2, and it only takes fisheye shots, and it uses film. Yes, film. I'm a bit frustated by the lack of colour saturation and digital noise (aka grain on film) problems with my digital camera, and because I can't afford the big dollars to get a better digi cam, I'm going back to the old school.
"Yes, yes," you say, "But Andrea, what about Photoshop?"
Well I say to you, "Do I really want to waste my time sitting inside colour-correcting my digital shots, when I could be outside taking more shots of all the fun I am having? No siree, I do not."
A brief note about the camera: Lomo cameras are created by the Russian company Leningradskoye Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie. They are film cameras, inexpensive point-and-shoot things designed for the masses ages ago and now re-popularized by hipsters and film devotees everywhere. Their charm is in their hazy imagery and blurry exposures.
So here are a few teases from my new camera.
Enjoy.
