LOMO (ЛОМО) or
Ленинградское Оптико-Механическое Объединение (
Leningrad Optical-Mechanical Amalgamation) was/is a manufacturer of the advanced optical instruments, medical equipment, consumer still and movie cameras, lenses, professional sound recorders for motion-picture production based in
St. Petersburg,
Russia.
Lomography is the commercial
trademark of Lomographische AG,
Austria for products and services related to
photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer
LOMO PLC of
Saint Petersburg,
Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the
35 mm LOMO LC-A Compact Automat
camera — which became the centerpiece of Lomography's marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the
Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 1980s.
Lomography emphasizes casual,
snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique."
[citation needed] Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these techniques to document everyday life, as the Lomo LC-A's small size, simple controls, and ability to shoot in low light encourages
candid photography, photo
reportage, and photo vérité through the much-touted "10 Rules."
(source: Wikipedia)
the
10 rules are:
1. Take your LOMO everywhere you go & whenever you go.
2. Use it anytime — day or night.
3. Lomography is not an interference in your life, but a part of it.
4. Shoot from the hip.
5. Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible.
6. Don't think.
7. Be fast.
8. You don't have to know beforehand what you've captured on film.
9. You don't have to know afterwards, either.
10. Don't worry about the rules.

The Lomo LC-A lens effect can be digitally emulated with photo-editing software such as
GIMP or
Photoshop. In addition, the company's promotional web site for Lomography showcases many high-contrast photographs - with unusual saturation and color - that were created using the technique called
cross processing in which film intended for developing in slide chemistry (
E-6) is processed in photographic negative chemistry (
C-41), and vice versa. This technique can be employed with any film camera and can be somewhat mimicked with digital software as well.

I starting to love these kinds of photos although i dont think i can afford those cameras to be lomographer, cause need to use those old version camera to take these kinds of photos.
But i think i can take digital photos and edited with photoshop to give such effect, I guess.
Someday i will wanna try to do experiment about making digital photos looking like LOMO>.<""
photoshop edited to give a little like old photo feel
try different colours with photoshop and give the old photo feel again
no edit , taken by cybershot sony, with night view mode if not mistaken
used shutter speed mode to take by digital camera where it will give the darker or surrounding, i dunno why
Window shadow on the wall
1st pic on the top left corner is the original others, photoshop experiments...
