This is absolute vomit. If ever there were a style of photography (esp. wedding photography) I absolutely loathe, it is this. And I did this with an action script from here! Sorry Elyce and Jess.
After mucking around with that lomo tutorial and coming up with some okay results, I found an action script of someone else’s lomo.
I got this action here.
On a less cheating note, James Burke (Or Burkie) tells me that the (pro)wedding photos are nearly ready. I am excited.
When you go the VicRoads website to see what you need to take to get you name changed on your drivers license you find a few things.
a) Marriage Certificate*
b) Your license
c) Something like your Medicare card
Well here’s some news for you, a) is wrong. You need to send away for ANOTHER document from the office of births/deaths/marriages.
I spent 40 minutes waiting in the machine-like horrid hole of Vic Roads only to be told I couldn’t get it done with the standard marriage certificate. *Apparently I now see it mentioned on the website but isn’t it nice of them to make it difficult.
I was (and am) really, really pissed off. And by the way, you couldn’t pay me to work at VicRoads – I rather work at Maccas, that might be a cheap shot, but it’s a contemplated one.
On the other hand, I love my semi-local Camera House. Because if I wanted they could get in for me a medium format lomo camera with a glass lens and filters for like $100! I have to think about the whole medium format thing more, but my goodness, they just do customer service right. They’re nice, they’re knowledgeable, they’re helpful, they treat you like you know what you’re talking about and explain anything you don’t, they are actually interested when you ask for strange things. I love them ever so much.
Well, I was moseying around on Ebay looking at lomographic cameras with minimal success (And I’m worried about cost re. film) and then decided to have a poke around to see if there were any digital equivalents. There aren’t – or I didn’t look far enough. Obviously with the likes of Photoshop this is unimportant as you can just about do anything anyway. Why I hadn’t already considered this beats me.
Digital Photography School has a tutorial on turning your digital images into lomographs. I’d seen this months ago but it was nice to find it again.
So I think I might find a Polaroid digital equivalent too, and have a bit of fun. Should I post some of my efforts?
Check out Unphotographable. I am amused. It’s something I would do. Perhaps if I got my dream camera* I’d take it everywhere? It’s a bit like dreaming up some wonderful story or blog post and promptly forgetting it because you don’t have any kind of writing implement… kind of.
Speaking of photographs, check out the coffee I still have sitting beside me! Yes it does taste as good as it looks. Sometimes I do just get it right. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty darn close (Perfect dictates no airbubbles showing in the milk). Smugness all round.
*as yet undecided but it would be a nikon and an SLR, obscure inside sources tell me to wait until the self cleaning gets more effective and common sense tells me to wait until I save up enough money.
