Abstract Lomo Style [Archive]

I found a way to simulate Lomo style shots (but they some of them came out very abstract) using the built in Photoshop CS RAW Editor.

On the RAW Editor, go to Advanced and select the Lens tab. Then change the Vignetting amount to -100. Just increase the Shadows, boost the Saturation and Sharpness and Voila! (hopefully!)

Here's the results:-

I have some more Liverpool Street shots too from the trip with cyKey. I'll post them tomorrow.

My favourite is the last one, your eye wants to race up to the end of the wall but is kept back by the section that is in-focus.

This image really stands out and has benefited from the Lomo effect being added. Abstracts is an area that I should have another crack at myself, never been good at them and it would give everyone something to laugh at :lol:

Some very good stuff there.
I always think if an image makes me want to go out and take more photographs it can't be bad.
For me there are two types of image:
1) I could do better than that.
2) I wish I had taken that.

Most of these fall into category 2.
