Digital Lomography

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?

Painting

Back in December I had a short inspired moment to pursue digital painting. Well I gave it a shot today. I used this tutorial which although isn’t brilliantly interesting, still looked better than some of the others around and seemingly not hideously complicated.

So here is the result. I dumped in an island and a bit more cloud to give it a Solomony/Savo feel. It’s really quite boring, but I’m not devastated with the effort. Infact considering I did this all on Photoshop with just a brush and a smudge tool (okay I might’ve made some hue/lighting changes too), I’m pretty happy. I don’t like the sand. All up it is more wispy than the tutorial, but I dare say one shot is not destined for accuracy, it takes many.

*And some further changes an d a crop. I like this better:
