I like this concept. Maybe it's just for lazy folk though.
Wondering what the collective minds of the rhp photo comp crew (and rest of forum) think of this?
Your thread looked very lonely so I decided to help you out.
I personally think the picture is quite similar to the effect you get from eating a dozen of lcd pills 😕🙄😲😵😏 ...
Nice pic bro but I still don't like your policy!

I had no idea that there were a lot of people here interested in photography. Maybe they're just all gone for the day and will be back tomorrow, or this evening. Good luck with the thread! 🙂

Elaborate set-ups and equipment definitely still have their place, but that shouldn't detract from the results than can be achieved through other media. About 8 years ago, I bought a cheap Polaroid camera because I needed some quick pictures and didn't have a scanner (or even a good camera). I took some really cool photos with it. Some of them came out looking like faded pictures taken in the 1970's. I thought (for a few of them) that it actually added to their charm. The only difficulty I can see is that lomography requires regular film. Taking lots of shots could add up to some pretty steep bills at the developer.

I like lomography, I think it's interesting to see how you can use what is usually considered as technical shortcomings to your advantage. But I doubt it's really that different from other setups. After all, you still have to consider light and how your equipment reacts to it, frame the picture and push the button on the right moment.
Another thing I like about the popularity of toy cameras, is that it's not digital. While I couldn't probably tell a good photoshopped 'lomograph' from a real one, I bet it's easier to actually use a Lomo rather then to try to reproduce the effect in photoshop. It shows non-digital photographic media have a future and a place. I hope.
