Digital Lomography, Easy and Cheap

First time I write about photography, I'm not expert there. I just want to share about photo editing software here. Who knows about lomography? or Lomo camera or at least toy cam?

Here we go. Lomography is a part of analog photography that uses Lomo camera. Lomo stands Leningradskoye Optiko-Mechanichesckoye Obyedinenie. A lil bit confused? I'll show you Lomo cameras and its results.

I love those photos colour. Do you want to come in lomography world? Actually lomography isn't cheap anymore. For example, Diana F+ medium format with flash is about $90 as I saw at Amazon. And 120mm film is about IDR 60.000. And for photo finishing you have to pay about IDR 50.000.

So, here they are a cheap and easy Lomography. Photo editing software with lomo effects. I called as Digital Lomography. It's also fun tho isn't as fun as lomography. I usually use these software to edit the colour after a lil bit photoshoping. For me it's fun to edit a blur photo or an "ugly" photo with lomo effect.

List of digital lomography software (A good news, all crack software. Free.):

• Poladroid (Download)
• Toy Camera Analog Color (Download)
• Instant Lomo (Download)

For Example, this is my twitter's avatar, taken at Bundaran HI, Jakarta with Blackberry Onyx camera and edited with Toy Camera Analog Colour.

And Poladroid is kinda fun, it makes your photo looks like polaroid, with camera capture sound and you must wait a minutes to see the result. Just like polaroid isn't it? Here is the tutorial of using Poladroid (Click)

Another way to make lomography effect is photoshop action. You can find it at deviantart. I do love my own experiment. Here my experiment with Photoshop.

Happy Digital Lomography-ing :)
