Communist Cameras

Great Post! Great post!!!

Where can we buy this Camera?

thanks man! you can buy cameras from their website at www.lomography.com!

very nice!

I have one. They're fun to play with

Not just Lomo's, toycameras in general are very fun to play with.
It's nice to have a second hand one, which does have little holes in it from cracks etc. so your film gets overexposure from light and features some funky, random effects.
The pricetag of Lomo models has been increasing lately due to demand, but there are some second hand jewels to be found online.

I love doing this! I've just got a film eatting camera and sometimes I grab it when I see something I like. It's that simple.

Here's a great site by the way that has all the Soviet cameras and their history including all the Lomos!

The Lomo LC-A is the only Soviet camera in this video the rest are actually Chinese even though they are called "Lomo"...

I almost bought one of those old Soviet cams years ago.

Wow, I love this movement. I agree with the Lomo rules for photography in general: posed photographs can be so boring!

Also, trying to capture a "pinpoint" tends to be quite difficult, which brings out the best in any artist. With limited exposures in a roll of film, I tend to want to think more about each shot, but at the same time one must have reflexes like a rabbit to catch the moments.

The quick shots also tend to capture a limited perspective, which creates photos that have a lot of personality and magnetism.

Also, this reminds me of disposable cameras!

Dude, awesome pod. The ending was perfect.

hahahaha....forgot film.

This was great. Great job. Enjoyed it a lot.

I love it! From one avid Lomographer to another, well done.

The imperfections of the natural I think always look better

to some of the older photographers this pod isnt really new information...but i bet there are alot of newbies out there thinking "why isnt there a screen on the back!"

great pod

I love my Diana camera, especially the unpredictable nature of plastic cameras and the color.

Here are a few pictures from my first roll of film with my Diana.

LOMO love - bring it on.
There used to be a Lomo shop in London back in the day, gutted when it closed down...

They also sold me a Kalimar which is a 16 lense beauty..!

Love the intrigue you get when wondering what the film will produce / if it will turn out - great in this instant digital age..also try using slide film for some serious colour saturation - though beware the processing costs !!!

Plenty of other bits on Lomo if you search on current.com

Awsome pod! I think I might get one . . .

Great pod!

Thanks for all the great comments guys! it was a lot of fun making. I'm just glad more people are getting into it now.

This looks awesome, i do just that, point, shoot, look at them later. However my digital camera is a bit bulky. and meant more for settings and such.
I'm definitely looking into one of these cameras right now.
Nice video man

question - how do i upload a photo for my profile? haha

i have lived this lifestyle without knowing about lomography. except i use different types of cameras

this is what i call life
