so the first roll wasn’t too great, but there were some nice shots. the only unfortunate part was that, although i specifically requested them not to do so, they cut up my negatives and as a result i lost the panoramic shots i made. (i was just looking at my negs and the shots are in tact, the guy just didn’t print them right) they made an attempt to make up for it by giving me 20% off, i guess that’s ok for the first test roll. so here are the few better shots that came of my experimenting.

My lomo of choice at the moment is the lomography ‘diana mini’, which is a small 35mm plastic lensed camera that has four soft focus settings (0.6m, 1-2m, 2-4m, 4m-). Manual film advance, either 1/250 or bulb shutter speeds, cloudy (11) or sunny (8) aperture stops and 24mm x 24mm or 24mm by 17mm frame sizes. You can change frame sizes on the same roll, partially advance a frame to create unique panoramic shot and also create multiple exposures or long exposures. It is compatible with the ‘diana f+’ flash, which is a rechargeable flash that has color splash gel slides to give nice effects on shots. It does also have a tripod mount and a cable release ability.

With the square 24mm x 24mm frame size you can shoot 36 exposures or 72 in the half frame 24mm x 17mm mode. Standard 35mm shots are 24mm x 36mm so the square shots have thick side borders and the half portrait shots have thinner ones. If you take two related shots one after another in half frame, you can print them as one image with a thin black divider. My virgin roll is at the developers, a one hour photo place where i must wait three hours for my photos. Sorry for the headache photo tech lady.
