I am a very enthusiastic person about all sorts of art but one of them is a very attractive subject because belongs to a category of presentation, where image needs to be economical and memorable – photography.
I was on the Channel4 website reading the rules of the competition that they are running at the present moment exactly about photography, and I decided to subscribe and have a go, why not? This was the question going on my mind and I was already filling the form and when I finally finished and click on send, than the question was another one, God, what have I done? To late already gone and now you’ve got to do something about it. I started to look for price of the films because my first intentions were to take as much pictures as I could and than select the best and than select the best of the best, and so on, until I get the 3 pictures I really need to upload on Channel4’s website. Look what I found!
The URL is www.lomo.com, what is all about? The site is an image bank, and by the way I just received this morning the welcoming kit that comes with 1 free film, 2 lomobags to send the film to develop completely for free (pre-paid), some pictures for you to judge the quality of the service (image and printing), and obviously the introductory letter. So…the bags are already pre-paid and always will be, it is not just for the introductory offer, you do not need to worry stamping the bags, you can send films from everywhere in the world in the pre-paid lomobags, and… more films you send the less you pay, yes less that’s correct (£11,99 per 1 film and £9,99 per 2 or more films)
How the developing process works? The pictures will be online for 15 days inbox, than from the inbox they will send to the image bank (your account). The inbox is just to give you time to analyse the pictures and if it will be the case to separate the ones for reprint, there is no limitation in MB, all your films will be online and available afterwards 24/7. At home you are going to receive a pack from the lomolab containing your prints, negatives, index print, a CD (digital images in high resolution 1084dpi), and a gift that is a surprise and different every time you will be using their service. I would like to add here that they sell 10 films 35mm for £10 and they have a high resolution, it can be used to any kind of camera avoiding disappointments.
Payments? Images? Questions? Help? How to send postcards?
For more information about the lomo advanced photo system please go to the website and look @ the right side of the screen and click on the “What the hell is total service?” Try and lomo on!!!
Advantages: fun, quirky and original photos Disadvantages: basic actionsampler has no flash
...developed in Russia called the Lomo Kompact Automat. This camera was unique in that it had a very sharp lens and high light sensitivity, which produces an array of fabulously different photographs. The lomography society was born and from that came a number of "toy" cameras. The word "toy" does not refer to an inferior product, but implies the fun that can be had with these cameras. They are unlike any camera you will have used, and will produce ... ...achieve with a standard.
Now on to the actionsampler. I bought this little beauty off ebay for approx £15 brand new, so it's not much to spend if you want to try it out. The action sampler has 4 lenses, which takes 4 pictures each a second apart and puts them back together t create something quite incredible. The finished photograph is a series of the 4 different pictures it takes.
Here are just a couple of examples of photos you can get with the ...

Advantages: free film Disadvantages: not local, inability to answer e-mails quickly
I received a free film etc from Lomo, and decided to give it a try.I waited over a week for my films to appear on line, and for the photos etc tobe received. I then ordered reprints over the net, that was nearly three weeks ago, and I am still waiting. I e-mailed them numerous times, and eventually received a reply saying my money would be refunded if the photos were not received this week end. I shall be taking future films to the local developer. ... ...films.
If you want to be kept waiting this is the company to use. I did receive one reply in a foreign language, which I did not understand, my e-mail was in English.Once I sorted out the site , which I found confusing the quality was good. I thought the idea of a C.D. with the pictures on was good, but I can now get this service locally. ...
