Lomo LC-A+ First Development

I got my first film developed from my LC-A+ camera this morning, and my goodness the level of anticipation I felt to see the results made me feel like a child all over again!

There were certainly a range of hits and misses, as everyone told me to expect.

My first reaction was, 'Oh no, none of them look any good!' but as I looked through them again and again I started to realise I have a really nice collection of snaps highlighting my second summer in Perth.

My brain has become so conditioned to seeing perfectly focused, coloured and zoomed photos from a digital camera, that I will endeavour with the next lot of film photographs to look at them for what they are; pure, un-edited point and shoot snippets!

* I noticed that a few of the photos seem to have been cropped or elongated, not sure if the camera did this or the people who developed them...?

Merry Christmas To Me

Or maybe it's an early birthday present... oh dear, seems I've broken my own rule about no new toys. Well, I did order this ages ago, does that still count?!

Bought myself a little replica lomo style camera to play around with. It arrived in the sweetest little wooden box, wrapped in the cutest paper and came with a little book, instructions, film and other such goodies. Bugger the camera, I just loved the packaging!

Well maybe not bugger the camera, I will have to see what comes out once I get the films developed. There's something quite exciting about waiting to see what turns out at the end of the film, reminds me of 6th form photography classes, squirreled away in the darkroom at lunchtimes... man I sound like I was such a dork!

Perhaps, if things go well, you'll be seeing some of these photos here, fingers crossed!
