raw creativity over comes even the shittiest cameras.
on thing most modern photographers lack. Its good to challenge ones self through using the most basic of materials to create something awesome.

The issue is that the vast majority of Lomo photos have nothing to do with creativity and everything to do with copying hipster bullshit. If the photos are all the same, it's not unique.

I got a Diana+ recently and I'm excited to see the pictures come back from my first roll. I've never shot 120 film before, and I will be surprised if the whole roll hasn't been completely exposed.

You must be new around here. Let me give you some advice, get the fuck out.

Since you probably won't take my advice, how about posting some of this miraculously creative and awesome non-hipster photography you're carrying on about.

That "Diana+" pisses me off so much. Fifty bucks for a camera that was designed to be a *cheap plastic toy*.

Designed to be a cheap plastic toy by *1960s China* standards, for God's sake. It probably costs them $.50 to produce.

lol your more than likely correct.

NEVER buy from lomography, but they are alright to use the camera's, interesting results. Just find a cheap from from ebay or a mate.

Pic: from my Lomo 166B (pre-lomography crap, its actually a decent camera, i just dunno what happened to this shot lol)

I think this was shot with a Smena on a crappy film back in the 60s, so it's kind of pre-lomography

I don't get this lomo shit. it IS overhyped hipster stuff.
>>115243
is right, but then you'd have no reason to pay 50$ for a crap camera if you can get a crap camera for 0.50$ as well, so the only reason you'd go for the 50$ is to be hip and shit.
Now gtfo.

I saw them selling Holgas in Urban Outfitters.

The amount of pretentious hipsters picking them up and going "Oh this looks good" was sickening.
>> Butterfly !xlgRMYva6s
The only place i've seen selling lomos was some trendy clothing/random store that sells banksy prints etc.

I was marginally tempted to buy one for an xmas pressent but then i didnt feel like being that horrible to my relatives.

You'd have to be a colossal retard to buy this kind of junk for $50 when you could get a nice old manual camera from eBay or elsewhere instead.

Really? They are doing that in the UK now too? Gah.

Lomo and the rest have managed to pull the biggest marketing scam I've seen in a while. Selling their overpriced junk toy cameras as "trendy" fashion items.

If I wanted to go all retro there's a huge market of beautifully made old cameras. I suppose no one has thought of making those trendy yet though. If anyone is looking for an opening in the market to make their fortune then you might want to lure in the hipster idiots.

Its a one off store so they might have imported them specially, nfi if lomo uk exists. Some of the things look kina cool, like the 3x3 exposures n stuff.

Met someone in edinburgh that was usin a holga with a polaroid back to take pics, they looked ok (she was a real photographer) but the polaroid film was really slow, so lots of underexposed goodness.

you lot are only pissed that someone has a better marketing plan and is making more money than you. Why do you care if idiots are wasting money, they like lomo not photography its not going to effect you.

It's not so bad when someone is experimenting with a real aim in mind rather than jumping on the bandwagon. Same with people modifying old cameras and so on.

It does go against the grain though when I see anyone acting as a con man and that is the sort of thing that is going on with this trend. That's what annoys me me. I've saved a few folk from getting conned in the shops by various dishonest sales assistants before, so I don't see why I should be shy about disliking it on the internet. I wouldn't mind them selling a toy camera at toy prices without all the bull so those few who were wanting a toy or maybe a tool to experiment with could get it, but if they're going to build it up into something it is not "INSTANT ART + HIP AND TRENDY" and hike the prices up and wow people with hype, then I'll feel free to have a dig at it when I get the chance. I complain about lame PS filters and dA trends too, but this one happens to be one of the worst and most prominent.

They've been trying to sell this sort of rubbish for decades and they have finally found a way to push it and a group willing to believe them now that the pretentious hipster crowd have appeared and decided it looks "cool and retro", despite the fact that it would have been considered cheap, nasty and awful even decades ago.

It's in the same league as all the rest of the modern art trends. Lomography is no better than the pickled sheep and the unmade bed and so on.

Plus, as mentioned before, there are lots of cheap old cameras around that are better made and perform better that mean the awful Diana cameras and the rest are pretty much pointless.

Blurry, badly vignetted and over saturated images of your shoes, a cat or your dad at the beach aren't any better than when they were taken with a half decent camera. Except now I'm meant to pretend it's automatically cool because it is "old school". Nonsense. Bleh.

I went to check out the Lomography World Congress last year in Leicester Square and pretty much all of it was hipster shit.

Surely going to see pictures from hundreds of people from around the world (many of them being professionals)is enough "homework"?

Lomo sucks.
