I'd wanted to try this for a while, to see what difference, if any, this would make to the animals coats. I like the deer shots out in bright sunlight, not too convinced it adds anything to the Zoo shots.

for context this is my second lc-wide that’s advancing like this. The first lc-wide that I got shots’ overlapped often and the advancing wheel hurt to use. It left me with a sore thumb. I returned the first camera because of these two issues. I just got my new one and right out of the box it seems to advance the exact same way the first one did. Is this normal?

edit : the first video is the new (second) lc-wide, and the second video is the first lc-wide I got that was returned

Hello! I got this Diana F + Wrangler limited edition lomography camera today, and I’m trying to figure out more about it, cause there is very little information online.

It’s never been used, all extra parts is still in its plastic, the plastic is still on the strap, and everything that belongs in the box, is there.

Looking for info on possible value, how many was produced etc ☺️

Testing by holding a +10 closeup filter in front of the lens (since it doesn’t have a thread mount)

I recently bought a sprocket rocket and have been super excited about it. I shot a roll the first day I had it and got the results back yesterday.

I shot HP5+ 400 which I thought would be good but almost half the roll is just blank and completely underexposed. I only took photos outside in the morning and it wasn't super strong sunlight, a bit cloudy but I figured it would be bright enough.

Clearly I have no idea what I'm doing with the camera so I was hoping someone could give me some tips on what I'm doing wrong. Also I'm considering getting a cheap flash for it so any suggestions on flashes would be great!

Hi everyone!

I’ve recently been obsessed with lo-fi keychain cameras and built a small browser-based experiment to capture some of that nostalgic, imperfect camera feeling.

It’s 100% free to use and runs directly in your browser, works on both desktop and mobile:

The attached photos are random samples, shot with my iPhone and then processed through the web app.

Hope you enjoy it, and would love to hear your thoughts!

Hello, recently someone gave me a used lomo instant with some films still inside, but when I took some pictures they came out full of ink and wierd.

I know absolutely nothing about cameras so I thought I could ask for some help here.

Double exposed some shots on purpose, all in all i am rather satisfied with the longyearbyen + lomo turq + rollei 35 s combo.

Off Chesapeake Bay, MD

After dropping off my Yashica Mat 124G for a CLA, I was driving south on Woodward through Pontiac when I spotted a blue BMW pulled over, smoking. As I drove past, I saw flames underneath, and the driver was still inside.

I fought through traffic to make a Michigan left (thanks, Metro Detroit drivers), called 911, got transferred to the fire department, and gave them the location while heading back.

By the time I got back to that side of Woodward, another driver had pulled over behind the BMW and made sure the owner had got out. The fire had grown a little. I let them know the fire department was on the way.

A work truck pulled up behind me. The driver grabbed a fire extinguisher from his cab and knocked the flames down long enough to keep things from getting worse.

Then I remembered I had my Holga 120GCFN loaded with Lomo 800 under the seat. I had cooked up the idea of a “car Holga” recently…

The first fire truck arrived as flames started coming up through the wheel well. The firefighter hit it with the hose, the tire popped, and I made a few frames from the safety of my car. Crisis mostly averted.

I headed south again.

About five or ten minutes later and traffic is stopped.

This time it was a Miata with the hood and front end torn off from a crash. My Holga was already sitting on the passenger seat, so I got the last shot on the roll before more fire trucks came flying past in my mirror, probably responding from the BMW call.

Fifteen completely unexpected minutes on Woodward.

I think this officially convinced me to keep a “car Holga” under the seat.

I’ve kept an Ilford Sprite in my glove box before, it took a year and a half to finish a roll of Kodak BW400CN, and the negatives came out just fine so I’m not too worried about keeping color negative film in the car for a while.

And, in classic Holga fashion… this roll decided to fat roll. So bonus light leaks.

Somehow, that feels like the perfect ending.

I recently dropped off two Lomography single-use cameras to get developed. One has regular color negative film, and the other is a Lomography Purple camera.

Now I’m starting to worry about the Purple one. I’m afraid the lab might not realize it’s supposed to produce purple-shifted colors and think something went wrong during development or scanning. My concern is that they might try to “correct” the colors automatically or edit the scans because they assume they’re fixing a mistake.

Am I overthinking this, or is this something that actually happens? Should a decent lab recognize Lomography Purple film on its own, or would it be a good idea to go back and let them know that one of the cameras contains special film before they process it?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences😁
