A new hobby: Lomography

I have recently taken a new hobby. Yup, I was finally drawn by the enticing world of photography. But this is not your typical digital photography. Since digital photography is way too expensive, I thought I’d start off with lomography. Lomo cameras are thousands of pesos cheaper than DSLRs so I gave it a shot.

My first ever camera is a Holga 135BC. It is very light and I can easily load it up with a 35mm slide film (which is readily available in the market, another advantage). The films are cheap and I can just bring my film to be developed or converted to CD. So I could still upload the pictures in Flickr after all!

I am more than excited as to how my first three rolls of film came out. We’ve been waiting since Sunday for the CD! Anyway, I really had fun taking photos. One time, I just tried to walk around the neighborhood and snapped away! I took photos of just about anything, kids playing, flowers, the horizon, my folks, birds, buildings, streets, street signs, Christmas lights, even the Oblation’s butt! I was literally not thinking and just shooting.

I am just a bit worried though because I have no background in photography and the photos could just all turn out really bad. I don’t have any experience or knowledge on composition, too. So we’ll see how the first three rolls turn out. For now, I have an Elite Chrome film loaded in my camera and three rolls of Fuji Sensia waiting to be burned.
