Guest d0ts Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 question! i've been a lurker and i'm thinking about starting off with either an action sampler or super sampler and working my way up to a holga or diana or even the LC-A but when you take pictures, are you supposed to move around or stay still? especially for the supersampler and actionsampler i wasn't sure if you had to move around ot get nice action shots. hello! haha, it's really up to you, but i think if you move around, the pics MIGHT turn out blurred. i'm not sure, but there's always that possibility right? most of the time, people just take the pics without moving i guess. well, i took pics with my actionsampler that way. you can always like have a combination. like try 1 shot with you moving instead, and another without. just experiment with it! I have a holga and a fisheye and I've never used both...ever.. I keep telling myself to go buy film, but I've just never gotten around to it. oh!!!! get film! haha. it's fun!

Guest angelic_betrayal Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 question! i've been a lurker and i'm thinking about starting off with either an action sampler or super sampler and working my way up to a holga or diana or even the LC-A but when you take pictures, are you supposed to move around or stay still? especially for the supersampler and actionsampler i wasn't sure if you had to move around ot get nice action shots. I have the supersampler and you're supposed to move around. I think that's the point of the camera. My first roll of film I had my subjects moved and that kinda failed. Now I set my shutter speed at the lower of the two and I move my subjects and the camera. But it's really up to you and what you're shooting. I think it's a pretty simple camera which is why I chose to start off with it && the effects are more unique I guess and a lot of people take notice haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest leeahh Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Question! Would it be okay to use my diana+ without a frame mask? I think I might have thrown mine away without knowing.. haha yeah you don't really need them unless u want smaller photos? just make sure that the arrow on the film count window is pointed at "12" and i think the other frame mask is for seamless panorama but im pretty sure u can still use pano without it but it just won't be as smooth. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jimalaz Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 hi.. i also love lomography... i have a fisheye 2 cam and non-lsi cam like vivitar uws.. but i have a problem with my fisheye 2, the flash isn't working.. what should i do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d0ts Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 ^ probably send it for repair if you know of anywhere that does repair services of such cameras? if it cannot be fixed, i guess u can only use it under daylight conditions. does the fisheye 2 camera have a hotshoe? if yes, u can buy a new flash and attach it. i developed my 2nd roll! camera used is vivitar UWS, and the film is lomoslide. Singapore Flyer. currently the world's largest ferris wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 d0ts beautiful photos ! i especially love the ferris wheel too hey guys, whats the best beginner lomo cam ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xx- Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 ^ hmm.. i think it depends on your preferences. maybe buy something cheap to "play" with it first. i bought diana f+ but i've nikon film camera too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d0ts Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 haha thanks for all the comments. those are the better few among the rest. the rest kinda... suck. HAHA! beginner lomo cam? hmm, i guess it really depends. you can try getting a point-and-shoot camera like the vivitar ultra wide and slim [currently not being produced anymore i believe], or other point-and-shoot cameras that are similar to the vivitar UWS. those are really easy to work with because u just have to "point and shoot". as for the other cameras like the diana+, holga, horizon, LCA etc etc, they need some kind of settings before you can "shoot", like the focus, N or B modes, etc. of course they cost more and have more features compared to a point-and-shoot camera.

Also can someone guide me on using a 35mm film? i noticed that alot of the pictures online look like this: how would it look like when developed?

Guest d0ts Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 `LANE: i paid $30 [singapore dollars]. probably around... 20 plus US dollars? not sure about the current price though. groovyharvy: haha i like this thread too. lol. how to take pretty pics? hmm, i don't know. haha. just look around on flickr for some inspiration? idk, perhaps u can try taking photos with different perspectives or with different composition. urgh idk how to say it. like try taking photos at hip level [without looking through the viewfinder], or place it on the floor, or position your camera above your head [lol, you will probably be in an awkward position though. haha!]. or even take photos with a theme in mind? oh, your pics came out blurry? hmm, did you set it at B mode accidentally? use N mode if there's enough sunlight and if you can't stabilise the camera. hmmm, idk how to explain. also, did you set the focus before taking a pic? for 35mm film... hmm. idk how to guide you... lol. just take pictures as per normal? i like the picture you posted though! love the sprockets, love the light leak!

Guest miiloverx2 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 For those of you who like to play around and experiment with slide film (like me), here's a few pages that I've scanned from a Japanese magazine called Snap! that could be helpful if you're planning to cross-process. Though it's in Japanese - it's quite straight forward. I buy a lot of Japanese photography magazines and Snap! is my favorite because it's centered around Lomography. I highly recommend this magazine! Even if you can't read Japanese - the photos are just awesome to feed your eyes on. So.. try to get your hands on it!! Online or your local Asian bookstore? ahha 自動補正ナツ - overexposed 自動補正少なめ - underexposed 通常自動補正 - at box-speed Page 1: Fujichrome Sensia III (RAIII) iso 100, Fujichrome Astia100F (RAPF) iso100, Fujichrome T64 (RTP) iso64 Page 2: Fujichrome Velvia 100 (RVP 100) iso100, Fujichrome Velvia 100F (RVP F - i think it should be RVP100F) iso100, Fujichrome Provia 400X (RXP) iso400 Page 3: Fujichrome Provia 100F (RDPIII) iso100, Fujichrome Velvia 50 (RVP 50) iso50, Fujichrome Trebi 100C iso100, Kodak Professional E100VS (E100VS) iso100 Page 4: Kodak Professional Elite Chrome Extracolor (EBX) iso100, Kodak Professional E200 (E200) iso200, Kodak Professional Elite Chrome 200 (ED-3) iso 200, Kodak Professional E100G (E100G) iso100 Page 5: Kodak Professional E100GX (E100GX) iso100, Kodak Professional Ektachrome 64 (ERP) iso64, Kodak Professional Ektachrome 64T (EPY) iso64, Kodak Professional Ektachrome 100Plus (EPP) iso100 Page 6: Agfa Precisa CT iso100, Lomography X-Pro Slide iso100 1 2 3 4 5 6 Sorry for the crappy quality - I have the worst scanner in the world. ugh. Some of these film are harder to find outside of Japan :/ Hope this is helpful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
