Tara McPherson for Lomography

Lomography releases some very nice limited editions sometimes. The Japanese collection for instance, from which I got my very own Diana F+ Kirameki. And now Tara McPherson -an artist I love!- has designed a beautiful Diana Mini.

It's adorable, isn't it? I love the pink flash on it! And even the button that forwards the film is cute and has stars on it.

Of course it won't be around for ever. So if you plan on treating yourself to one, I suggest you don't wait too long...

I have always wanted to built my own camera. And as amazing as it would be to do so from scratch, I think it would be helpful to use a DIY kit the first time round. Thankfully Lomography launched the Konstruktor today.

It's an SLR that you piece together yourself using the parts they send you in this handy kit. And it even comes with stickers so you can customize its look. Though I have to admit I prefer the black over their primary colors.

I know some Lomography cameras are more expensive then others, but this is one of the affordable ones. Which makes sense of course, since the concept is saving them a lot of work too.

Anyway, will you be building your own camera soon or are you sticking to finished store bought devices?

Analogue Adventures

Amsterdam has some stunning architecture and I think some of it might even look cooler through a fisheye camera. These rounded buildings definitely look great in these!

Some more Diana pictures from my very first batches. These were taken last summer.

  

I did some experimenting with the Splitzer as well. Too bad I didn't think of changing the settings when I took a picture of the sky. I still love this picture very much though.

And yes, that dog is taking a pee.

Up next: my very first Fish Eye pictures!

Analogue Adventures

I've been wanting to share my analogue pictures with you for ages and it is finally happening! I now have a scanner and I'm busy shooting pictures and actually getting them developed. Can you believe it? I hardly can!

These two are from my very first batch of Diana F+ pictures. I absolutely love the top one! It turned out so magical, like a castle in the sky.

As you can see I started experimenting on my very first roll of film. I just couldn't wait to try out my Splitzer and I'd been dying to do some double exposures as well.

More coming soon!

Could this possibly be ...?

A Diana F+ Kirameki?

Well, yes!

And I couldn't be more excited!

I somehow got the opportunity to buy a lomography coupon with a big discount, so I jumped at it and treated myself to a Japanese edition Diana.

Apart from it being the most incredible and beautiful camera in the world, that may I add, works with all the Diana add-on's and accesories, it also helps support Japan with a small portion of the 20.000 lomography is donating.

Is there any better excuse then discount and charity combined?

Anyway I just shot two films today and can't wait to have them developed. I also bought a Splitzer, which enables you to divide your picture into different segments or do a double exposure on only one part of the picture, and did a little experimenting. I'm really looking forward to seeing the end results. Will hopefully show you soon!
