Lomography

Hey everyone!

First, I'd like to explain a bit about lomography. These pictures were taken with an analog camera without a viewfinder, but four lenses. It takes four pictures within four seconds, but each of them only takes up part of the finished picture. What you get is: four pictures, each of them one second younger than the next. By moving the camera, or if the object is moving, you get great effects, but since you don't have a viewfinder, you have no clue how it's going to look until you hold the finished photographs in your hands. It's fun, and sometimes you get lucky and take a good picture.

Hey, I love your pictures, particularly the one with the flying birds and the one with the panorama. I've never tried lomography before, but it seems pretty cool. How do you get four pictures to fit on a single film slide? Or are they four different pictures spliced together?

Hi,

You did a good job with these. I love the atmosphere, I love the subjects, and it's just cool how everything pieces together. I don't know what I can really tell you since it's got to be hard not having a view finder.

Instead of going through them all one-by-one, like usual, I just want to give my thoughts on these pictures as a whole. This is a cool effect, and I would like to see you do more with it. When we first see this pictures, it's just like, "oh, that's cool. You can have four pictures at once" and, if it was just one, we probably wouldn't think of them as being anything out of the ordinary. But! Not to say that these are bad, just that there is more that you can do with them. Like you mentioned, this definitely works better with a moving subject. My favorite has to be the second one of the duck, because it just seems natural the way you capture it moving across the picture.

If you want to use a subject that just stays in one place, I would suggest trying to portray it in a different way or make it so that there is an allusion movement. You have the right idea with the first picture that you took, but I'd really like you see develop that idea more. Instead of just moving up, does tilt to the side? Turn around? You can probably start to get really crazy with expirementation!

When taking more pictures with this effect, I would suggest that map out you want to portray and take your picture based on that, so everything seems more cleanly cut. Overall, you definitely have an eye for photography and I hope that you continue! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and I hope I didn't seem too harsh!

Wow, these photographs are amazing! But what's really amazing to me is the idea of lomography. You see, I'm the type of person who likes to try things new, unusual, or unheard of, and this is a good combination of all three! If you have more of these photographs, I would LOVE to review them some more!

I love the third and fourth ones, especially the third. It's almost like viewing a flip book, except that the pictures are side by side rather than on top of one another. The fourth is cool but it seems out of focus (although I suppose you know that). It reminds me of the ceiling in the upstairs bedroom at my grandparents house; there are several mirrors on the ceiling, so when you look up and see yourself lying in bed, you see one image, but it's not solid. Instead it's sort of broken up and overlapping, but it all forms one image.

These are really cool, anyway. So, good job.

Wow, this is so cool.

The only thing I don't really like with these pics is that they just don't seem very sharp... It's probably just your camera though and not your fault - so I don't blame you!

I think my favorite is the one with the goose. And the one with the birds because I love how their in a different place every time.

Good job with these

Keep photographing,

Woah! These are really cool. I like the duck ones a lot, I'm not sure why. But they remind me of something you'd find on an album cover: random but sophisticated? If that makes sense. Nicely done. These are really good =]
