Olympus Trip (or any number of unwanted film cameras lying in attics and cupboards across the land) would do the same thing but are not as ‘cool’. Or try a pinhole for something genuinely different.
DIY black and white could be fun if you have a darkroom setup or scanner but shelling out £££ for colour dev & print when most of the pics are rubbish (and the others are ‘arty’) isn’t my idea of a productive use of my time or money.
I’m not saying the idea is without merit but why the necessity for a toy camera? What’s wrong with using an old SLR with a cheap, scratched 28mm lens? Use the exposure guide off the film box, “f/8 and be there”.
The people who produce interesting pictures with a Lomo can do good work with any camera. I’d suggest digiphotoneil’s two examples work because of the subject and/or composition rather than his choice of hardware.
Film choice is very important and it might not be a bad idea to take advice on this if you are a digital kid.
No, surely that’s part of the experience?
