These are my gorgeous friends in college and this was taken at Quiapo. As far as I remember we were buying films that day, walking, lomography-ing and looking for good subjects to take a picture at. Wow those days I really missed! I just love walking around with my fisheye 2 and take pictures of anything! And yes, I’m using a film not a DSLR.
Actually once you use a film, the shots are kinda unpredictable because you wouldn't know if you had taken the picture well (NO PREVIEW, NO DELETE) unlike in any other digital cameras you can always check the preview and if you find the picture hideous you can delete it anytime you want. And that's the challenge to many lomographers!
In using film you should also have the patience in taking pictures I know its kinda hard looking for good subjects but don’t worry, DONT THINK JUST SHOOT! You can explore things and get out of the box, make use of the techniques or even make your own!
It’s not an instant good picture. Actually when I first had my shots in CD I felt a bit nervous because I don’t know if my pictures went good or just a crap. And when I checked it....PHEW t'was 60-40 some were good but most of them were crap!! Problems are: pictures too fogged up, no flash (I often forget to use the flash noob! XD), using the wrong button either Normal or Bulb, the subject is too far, and not using the techniques. As I continue my second, third, fourth roll still there's some faulty pictures but there's an improvement! HA!
Maybe on the 2nd to 3rd paragraph for you it sounds like "UGH man it's really hard to use film! It’s a waste of time and money!"...oh wait you mean that wrong! That’s not what I wanted to say. In lomography I learned to appreciate real photographs. Be it candid or not. Thru this it reveals how creative your mind is, to put up an object/subject into something interesting and out of the box without editing it. JUST RAW pictures only.
Well I’m not saying don’t use digital camera or whatever because I’m using one too. What I wanted to convey is try something new because it’s a nice hobby to do. Want to know more about lomography? checktisawt! :p ---> Golden Rules of Lomography
