Lomo Lomo Lomo

My new lomo camera arrived today - the LC-A+

Its a film camera and what can I say - I just got addicted to some of the shots produced by the lomo addicts who contribute to the lomo sites on flickr.
I'm hoping to re-create the types of shot but in my own style.

New toy arrived today!


I was bored last week when I ordered the camera ... spent a bit of time on ebay (ooops). July has been pants for weather and I haven't been feeling inspired to take the digital camera out. Going to force myself to go out tomorrow while I am shopping and take some practise shots with the lomo.


I recently have been taking some self-portrait shots of myself. I have always been fascinated with the concept of self-portrait and didn't really understand what it was all about. I'm gradually learning that it is a weird and bizarre feeling to take a self-portrait. I mean some of my poses and facial expressions have been totally cringe-worthy! ha ha. They will never be seen and infact most of them have been deleted!

Flickr

This is a test post from flickr, a fancy photo sharing thing.

Wheat-A-Bix or Highland Coo?!



I was off today. No college for summer ... and the nice weather disappeared - although it was still warm. I had hoped to take the camera out and about today but didn't get the motivation to do it when it clouded over.

Anyway thought I would take a photo of this wee coo ... I had bought it from a craft place in Markinch (Fife) at christmas time but never got around to giving it to anyone as a present .... so I'll keep it! I felt that I had to take a photo of something!
