I’m going back to my old Blogger site. This site will stay here for a foreseeable future, but I won’t post any more. Old content will stay here as well, as I don’t have time to move it into Blogger.
Thanks to all who participate in this little site of mine.
Ok, not really, I was fooling around with my not-so-new toy, HTC Desire phone. To be more precise, I decided to kick into ever-so-happy point-and-shoot mode, and photograph without fuss, editing, or even thought. Have to admit, those mindless P&S users might be onto something. I mean, if you just want to snap happily whatever happens around you, thus concede to whatever camera produces, what, in the end, is differentiator among, say, Holga, P&S and phone? Garish colors? Heavy vignetting? Optical distortions? Artistic value? LOL
Ok, images from Lomo could possibly compete with anything out of dSLR. But, just for web, even P&S is a massive overkill, phones are quite capable for that. Don’t be intimidated by the prospect of making image for web out of the same size original image. For instance, I did resorted to just snapping around with some photo apps for Android, with predefined Lomo and other “artistic” effects. All of apps are restricted to max. 800 x 600 pixels, probably due to image processing being too heavy for a phone, thus I didn’t even used all of available 5 MPixels. Still, results are quite interesting:

Returning back from walking in city park, I stumbled upon small girls lost shoe. And so, opportunity was met with my camera. Result is in usual place:
