Lomo, are there any requirements for taking pictures?

From a technical point of view, Lomo camera is not a complete fool, it also includes a shutter controlled by a battery, which will extend the exposure time in case of insufficient light. For example, when the shooting light is insufficient, the shutter will continue to open until the film is completely exposed, sometimes only for a few seconds, sometimes for a minute. If the subject moves, there will be a light beam with a sense of speed or a fuzzy halo.

Moreover, LOMO camera is particularly sensitive to red, blue and yellow, with bright colors, a sense of speed, blur and a "tunnel effect". What is the tunneling effect? It is the defect made by the lens itself that makes the periphery darker than the middle.

You must be dumbfounded. LOMO is popular because it has the defects and unique design that ordinary cameras don't have, which finally makes LOMO camera shoot psychedelic colors similar to Wong Kar-wai movies. It can be said that the photos with blurred out-of-focus and color deviating from real life are the photos that best represent LOMO art, because they don't need to focus, so it doesn't matter if they are unclear. Anyway, there are figures, heavy colors, their own traces, and the dizzy moon at that time.

Lomo- enough fun

Look at some photos I took casually, and they are almost like works of art. To tell the truth, it is hard for young people not to be moved. More importantly, LOMO's gorgeous colors are almost seamless with our fantasy of this rotating world.

In this world, there are bars, electronic psychedelic music, experimental noise, performance art, DVD, internet, skateboarding and all kinds of new things that belong to us. We must decorate our city with these weapons, otherwise it will be boring-the air is dull, pedestrians panic, and the foggy sky covers all illusions.

If we observe the cities under these gray raincoats through LOMO cameras, it seems to have produced magic and changed our memory of the cities. The tree is green, I am walking, the music is playing, the computer is on, the picture is turning, and all the details in life are extremely bright. Our night, our road, our expressions and emotions are all infected by the confusion and illusion of the photos.

Therefore, it is not surprising that LOMO art has become fashionable. Its antiquity and simplicity just meet the needs of modern people and set foot on the beat of their psychedelic music.

They don't consider any skills at all, just as they don't consider any rules at all. They love themselves enough to love LO-MO that records their lives. They don't want the so-called eternity, they don't believe in your promise, they only believe in every accidental existence and their own instant feelings, so LOMO art is a kind of childlike and uncertain creation.

In fact, LOMO art is a simple and extremely individualistic toy. It represents the most primitive way of existence-recording, recording everything about yourself. No matter how you shoot, horizontally or vertically, you choose LOMO's attitude towards life with an antique camera.

These cameras have some similarities. First, it is cheap (although the price has skyrocketed, it is still relatively cheap). Second, it is too old to be old, as if it were all antiques turned out from the bottom of the box; Third, it's all very popular now. Ha ha.

■LomoLC-A

The most classic camera, and of course the most antique camera. Black shell, rough body and unique optical lens all make LOMO fans a classic. However, its price soared. 1995, only 100 RMB. With the boom of LOMO, the price is almost ten times that of the past.

■ Horga

A Japanese toy camera. Except for screws, flash holder and keys on the back of the machine, they are all cheap plastic products, which are cheaper than Lomo LC-A and have serious defects, which may affect the negative film because of light leakage from the fuselage. However, it also aroused the enthusiasm of super BT players, who claimed that no two Horga can shoot exactly the same thing. It has many incomparable features, such as unlimited modification possibilities. Of course, there are also many surprises, such as the artistic beauty of dim edges or even the loss of light, and countless creative possibilities.

■ agate 18K

Although it claims to be a spy camera, it is actually about the size of Lomo LC-A, and it is also a toy machine made in Japan. Its advantage is that imaging accounts for only half of ordinary film, and 36 films can take 72 photos, which saves film and can be developed at any printing point. Although only one or two hundred yuan is needed at present, it is difficult to predict the future soaring speed.

■ Kodak gives away cameras for free.

LOMO fans who have been playing with fools until they are unconscious recommended this Kodak camera to the editor, saying that it is stupid enough, cheap enough and brightly colored. This LOMO fan started to buy the most classic camera of LOMO, then he wanted to buy antique cameras when he saw them, and finally he collected them as long as they were cheap. Free gift, of course.

Therefore, we solemnly remind LOMO fans and young people who are about to be fascinated that LOMO is actually just a machine. Of course, shooting quality depends on people. You can't be a writer with a ballpoint pen, but a hacker with a computer. Don't be carried away by LOMO. Not all antiques are treasures, let alone a blurred picture, and you become Du Kefeng and Wong Kar-wai.

Lomo art is simply an attitude towards life. Therefore, it is not important whether the works shot by Lomo camera meet the appreciation standards of general photography.

What's important is that Lomo camera can let young people record at any time, and bring them into an image illusion with strong colors, changing halo and simple operation: in this illusion, the troubled and hurried daily life becomes a dream generated by pictures, thus recreating the memory of life.
