Toyed with different thread titles - I basically wanted to say hey long standing 365ers read this! but I thought that a bit prejudice.
Basically if any of you haven't yet discovered the lomography website I'm opening your eyes to it. Two golden rules:
1. Never buy cameras from these people - daylight robbery for what is dirt cheap on eBay and in junk shops
2. Be inspired, be very inspired by a community thriving using old style 35mm, 120 roll film and even expired 126 film, APS, everything you can imagine. These crazy kids are experimenting with wild abandon. And thousands of pictures each day make up this stream: http://www.lomography.com/photos/stream
Hence getting back to my prejudiced selectiveness - presuming newbies who got a digital camera for Crimbo won't be lacking inspiration yet. But for the rest of us soak up the images on the link, join the website, buy the cameras (on ebay) and go mad with photoshop added lomo flares and streaks. You can add these effects to digital photos incidently, here: http://pixlr.com/o-matic/
@ariananeala did you know the website already? You can register and review your toy cameras and post the pics, they got reviews of every crappy camera ever made. What's your fav analog to shoot with?
two brilliant sites! I myself use DSLR's but would love to have a go with film..it looks so retro and vintage....where would you get a cheao film camera? :)
I was introduced to Lomography by a friend, not too long ago. There are some brilliant pictures on there! (Not that you couldn't get those brilliant pictures with a dSLR, of course - it's the photographer, not the camera! - but it's still inspiring.)
Also... Thanks so much for the link to that Pixlr website. I've been looking for something like that for ages! Thank you. :)
