LC-A+ Test roll

Okay, so I've learned from experience that its important to have a test roll for every new analogue camera you buy so that you would be familiarized with its settings and other basic stuffs. When I had my La Sardina for the first time, I was too careful to use it and I felt like every roll is fragile thus I have to only use it in special occasions. Not to mention the fact that I haven't found a decent processing lab for my films. That time, I was really very cautious. I was just a newbie in the Lomography world plus there was no one I know back home that uses lomo cameras like me. I was used to my DSLR all the time plus I started liking this hobby when I was in Korea so yeah, you can tell how it is. :)

Anyways, now that I've been a bit more knowledgeable about lomography than I was months back, - though I'm still learning everyday; and after reading the book and manuals that came with my camera, I loaded film and gave it a test roll! For a couple of days I took shots around the house, and our neighborhood. During the day, at night, I used multiple exposures and the different ISO settings (one of the things my La Sardina doesn't have) which I was really excited to try. Here are some of of my favorite shots from the bunch:

flowers are one of my favorite subjects. :)

I was very happy about the results, and I was glad I did the test roll 'cause I'm a little more familiar using it now and I wouldn't have to worry whether I did set it up right or not. Although, you would never be really sure of the outcome of your roll. As the Golden Rule nos.8 and 9 of Lomography says, You don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film - afterwards either. :)





Lomography Golden Rule no. 6 - Don't think.










The rest of the shots can be found in this album from my Lomohome. Feel free to check it out. :)

Hello, LC-A+

Just when I thought I completely lost my money order, err I mean it got lost and didn't reach the Lomography Store, this box just welcomed me in the counter yesterday morning. Seriously, I already emailed the store to inquire regarding my order and all but now its finally here. I was really very happy I actually screamed for joy in front of my uncle while he was having breakfast. :"> I immediately opened it up, and voila! my newest baby, my own LC-A+ is finally here!

I also bought this SideKick Lte Bag and a CN400 film to add in my film stock. :) This film is my to-go film for  Luna (my La Sardina). Also, my friend told me it works well for almost any Lomo camera. I think I overdid the buying with the bag 'cause its big and kinda heavy for me but I know it would be useful so it doesn't matter. Hehe

For all those who doesn't know about this camera, I can say that its one of the most coveted lomo cameras in the lomography world. I can't speak for everyone but for me it is. It has been my dream to own one and I'm just beyond happy! So if you want to know more about the specs, you can click this site. :)

happy me xx

Oh before I forget, I should start thinking of a name for it. I have this weird habit to name my cameras you know. I don't know, I think its fun. I'm not the only one who does that am I? :) Anyways, maybe that could wait. Now I just can't wait to use it! :)

Or, perhaps, you can help me name it? :)

Summer in bleach

Heya! Like I said on my previous post, I did a little experiment on the film I used on our beach trip last weekend. So here are they:

 I used my Lomography CN 800 film which would normally create bright shots specially if use during the day (ISO 800 is best used at night where the light is low). The bleach created a bluish tone that I totally liked, however some of the shots weren't developed :(

Anyways, about the trip, I loved Myrtle Beach! Though I generally love the beach, this is my first beach trip in US so I kinda like how different it is from the setting back home. In the mornings, lots of people specially couples go for a walk and watch the sun rise. Then later during the afternoon, people just find their cozy spot on the shore, lie comfortably, read a book or do whatever they feel like while they bake themselves under the heat of the sun. I was a bit sad because I don't have a lot of shots of myself in a beautiful place like this but I already saw that coming since the folks that I came with were not a fan of taking pictures. Hoho. Plus they were mostly guys (my uncle and my two cousins) and my aunt. So I felt totally awkward to ask any of them to take a shot of me. But it came to a point wherein I finally had the courage to ask my uncle one shot but it was totally awkward. xx

How awkard could this get? :|

my other attempts on self portrait, teehee x

Overall, it was a great weekend though. Short, but sweet & a different summer experience for me ;)
