First Lomography film developed

My first film developed from my Lomography toy camera, the La Sardina. I was so excited to see how this film would turn out. I took about three 36frame films full with my new La Sardina end of last year, only to find out the camera was broken and all the films were blank. I was so disappointed, because I took photos at far away places I visited only once. Guess I'll just have to go back and re-shoot them ;) 

These photos were taken on my holiday in Cape Town, South Africa. I used the Lomography Colour Chrome ISO100 film which was perfect for the bright days on the beach or at the harbour.

You'll see there are lines on some of the photos. This is due to that I had to pull the film out and roll it back manually under a blanket at night because the camera didn't want to roll back the film itself. Looks like this camera a giving me a bit of trouble, but bring it on! 

The photo was taken using the multiple exposer function.

Journey to work

I take the Gautrain from Pretoria to Johannesburg everyday to work. I sneaked my La Sardina in to document a few photos of my journey to work everyday.

The photos are shoot in Lomography Colour Chrome ISO100 film. I think the ISO100 was a bit to o low for the station. I think a ISO200 film would have worked better. But the bright morning sun shining in on the platform makes it a bit difficult. 

A new member to the Shootcase family

Two weeks ago we went to the Photo and Film Expo at the CocaCola Dome in Johannesburg. We attended a workshop on the Art of Photography by PIX Magazine editor, Fiona Peake. Peake showed a few photos of her own work and others who also inspire her. When her Lomography photographs hit the screen I felt excitement stir inside. It was  so refreshing to listen to a professional photographer who has a passion for the art and emotion in photography rather than just the technical rules about it. 

I was immediately sold on buying myself a Lomography camera. I love the unexpected outcome of photographs taken by these cameras and I fully support their initiative of 'the future is analogue'. Someone has to start somewhere to save the culture of film photography.

Be sure to see some of the photographs taken by this new member of the Shootcase family and do not to miss out on the Photo and Film Expo next year!
