I've developed an interest in LoFi type images. It was kicked off by the "disposable camera photo challenge" and my subsequent efforts with disposable plastic/toy cameras.
From there I found that not every image needs to be super sharp to be interesting.
I looked at Holga and Diana images and found some to be good. I'd like to try making a few images in that style but am not keen to pay so much for colour film processing, especially as so many frames might be spoiled by the "features and flaws" in the typical toy cameras used. I process my own B&W and will play with those for a while, but I wanted to try some colour LoFi images..
So, here's a couple (possibly the first of many) of LoFi, Holga/Diana style images from digital files....
I found that my image viewer/editor (gThumb) even has a Lomo effect filter.. Maybe this is cheating, but the image is the goal, not where it comes from, init?
