Lomography in Cambridge
13 Apr 2003 01:37 amSomething I've been wanting to do for some time ever since reading about it.
The term Lomography is based on the LOMO, a famous Russian cheap and nasty camera but it also refers to a style of random photography. Basically, shoot, don't think.
I wandered around Cambridge, digicam in hand and just pressed the shutter now and then when I thought it would be a good moment. Most of the pics are a bit crap (that's the idea) but some came out really nicely. However, I do need to practice shooting from the hip better. You can actually get some really nice character shots without being obvious that you're taking a pic of someone.
I've also taken some deliberate, properly composed shots.
