Understanding Lomography and Analyzing the Distinct Characteristics of a Lomo Photograph

http://www.slrlounge.com/the-ultimate-lomo-photography-effect-tutorial-lomogr...

Lomo Photography or Lomography has gained quite the cult following in recent years. And it's no wonder. These little Lo-Fi cameras, such as the Lomo LC-A, produce some really cool and compelling images. Aside from the Lo-Fi look of the Lomo, the other main feature of Lomography is the cross processing of the Color Slide Film.

A while back, I was trying to recreate this look on my digital photographs. However, the few tutorials I found online, while they were a start, didn't really get me to the final Lomo look that I was trying to achieve. So, I made my own process, and now I have turned it into a full in depth tutorial for all of our SLR Lounge peeps.

We have broken this tutorial into two distinct parts. In Part I, we are going to take a look at Lomo Photography and dissect the images effects so that we know exactly how to reproduce them in Photoshop. In Part II, we are going to start Photoshopping our image from start to finish. So, if you want to get straight to the Photoshop part of this tutorial, skip to the second video.

Our goal, is to help photographers understand and be able to recreate effects on their own by analyzing and dissecting image characteristics. If you are too excited to get right to the Photoshopping, then skip to Part II below. Otherwise, enjoy this first video, and then move on to the second.

Can you please talk slower? About half the speed would be much nicer. Thank you.

@elboertjie Sorry amigo, you know if I slow down, I am going to get tons of people that complain about going to slow. Either way, it will be tough to please everyone. I would recommend just pausing and continuing, or rewatching the video.

@SLRlounge Seriously dude, have you actually measured your speech rate? In this video, you speak a minimum of 400 words per minute and at times close to 600 words per minute. That is too high

Now I know about personal preferences about for some too fast and for some too slow, but this is not about the information is coming in too fast, it is about not being able to hear anymore what you say without squinting the face and trying to make sense of it.

250 words per minute would be much better.

@elboertjie First time I have heard this comment, if I start hearing more in the community complain about it, I will definitely take it into consideration. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't think this guy's talking too fast. It's just fine.

@SLRlounge

Your speed is fine, sir. I actually appreciate the speed. It's quick enough to not lose my interest and just slow enough for me to comprehend all of what is being said.

Again, your speed is fine.

@elboertjie i'm from Iran and i have no problem understanding him. you are right, he is speaking a bit fast (so do i, maybe it's a persian thing since he is persian too) but it's easy to understand. we can ask for subtitles though.
