Random LOMOs from my most recent roll of expired Lucky 100 film. Taken around South of Market, San Francisco. My 1991 LOMO is still going strong, after what I figure to be 100 rolls of film shot through it…

Walkabout, Part 76
What to buy?
The Lomographic Society made me their OSCM expert last week! I’ve got 35 piggy points to spend in the Lomographic Shop! What should I do, buy some film or spend a little more and splurge on something bigger? I have a 1990 LOMO LC-A and a Colorsplash flash, and my $1 TIME camera beats a Holga 135 any day of the week.

I’m still not sold on the Lensbaby – I like it, but I can get the same effect out of a Jazz Jelly camera or any other plastic camera. Or, I could shoot with a digital Stylecam Blink and not have to scan!
I can shoot 10 megapixel raw images with my DSLR, though.

Mimicking film with digital tricks
Pssst! I’ve got a secret!
Most decent imaging programs have the capability of automating actions. With the right actions applied to a photo, you can easily mimic some of the quirky qualities of your favorite film camera on multiple photos and bundle the actions to share with others.
To Wit, the Holganizer. With it, you can take a rectangular, well exposed digital image and make it look like it was taken with the Holga, a $30 plastic camera. This was taken with a Canon SD110; for the original, see the previous post.
The film banner on the top and bottom are a nice touch, but unfortunately they don’t change when you make another Holganized pic, making the viewer think you’re permanently stuck on exposure # 9.
For a good Holga action, see the previous link. There are tons of LOMO actions for Photoshop and The Gimp, just a google search away.

One of my favorite photos from a walk along the water in San Francisco. Things change so quickly out there that these pictures are all that’s left.
