...my first 'getogether' guest Session #01 with Lomographic Embassy Singapore organized by Objectifs (http://www.objectifs.com.sg/lomo.htm), got my hands on a Colorsplash camera and a free load of film 400 slide film. I have forgotten what is it like - to load and unload (manually unwind) a film, to wonder the exposure (of a 10pm busy Liang Seah Street) that goes in, the kind of 'hmm' anticipation from film. The group was a tremendous fun, never feel alienated, always a helpful bunch esp during the night shoot-out. THANKS GUYS!! I can't wait to develop this precious roll. It would probably be rubbish.!
Another thing which is all so familiar yet forgotten, the sound from camera - the 'click'!, the winding to the next film. hahaha. You can't get that from a digi cam. It's different. During the session, learned a bit abt cameras too.. these are the ones I wrote down.
(I had to type it here before I lose this paper. :)
LCA (stopped producing) / Lomo LC-A+
Fisheye / Fisheye 2
Pop-9 (like pop art. 9 picts in one)
Oktomat (8 lens - makes 8 frames-in-one of different actions by split seconds)
Frogeye (they stopped producing :( for underwater. only allows to 4m deep.)
Action Sampler

A Fish eye 2 or a LC-A+ ? I like the effects of Horizon.. it's bulky tho.
(Do share if u guys own one or know anything abt these toy cams...)
oh oh...strangely I've learnt this too...
the 10 Golden Rules Of Lomo
1. Take your Lomo everywhere you go
2. Use it anytime - day and night
3. Lomography is not an interference with your life but a part of it
4. Get as close as possible to the objects of your lomographic desire
5. Don't think
6. Be fast
7. You don't have to know beforehand what is on your film
8. Nor afterwards
9. Try the shot from the hip
10. Don't worry about (golden) rules. Be unique and find your own way.
(pretty much a universal rule...hmmmm and as usual, you don't always agree to all rules. :) oh yes.. lastly, the 'group' fav hangout network: www.lomotionsg.com
Fantastic evening!
