Is fine art photography now defined by lightleaks, shit film, shit lenses, shit cameras and heavy vignetting?

This is a thread about Lomography bro. Feet just happen to be the most commonly photographed subject in the lomogra-sphere.

What do you think of lomography?

Sometimes the strange contrast irks me. IMO some of these shots would be so much better in focus and sharp.

File: 1447777953592.jpg (81.12 KB, 1080x1080, 1:1, girlshoesoff.jpg)

The understated fact that asian feet are the majority of subjects in lomography is no doubt the single greatest factor in my enjoyment of lomography. If not for asian feet, these would just be shit photographs taken on shit cameras with shit film and shit lenses.

To put it simply, the abundance of asian feet is the only redeeming quality of lomography. Prove me wrong.

Really low angle shots are so easy with lomo. Just put your 20 dollar camera on the floor and set the timer!

If I shoot lomography film in my leica, is that still considered lomography?

If I shoot lomography film, using a lomography lens on my leica body, will that be considered lomography?

How about a summicron mounted on a diana+ with kodak tri-x film? Is this lomography?

Where is the threshold of 'lomography'?

Lomography company just released a leica m mount 32mm f2.8 lens. Is this lomography?


 No.1123

As you might be able to tell, im a bit frustrated and just want to lick some cute asian feet. But dont think im crazy, because even lomography.com admits that feet are the main lomography subject.

No, why its film. It's what you do with it that make it art. A snapshit will always be a snapshit.

I love lo-fi film photography if that's what you mean, but I can't stand the Lomography company themselves or their "don't think, just shoot" philosophy that discourages emphasis on photographic composition and encourages unnecessary consumption of film. On the positive side, they're helping to keep film photography alive, but I still don't like them.

>Good? Bad? What is your opinion?

Altering the film process to get unusual colour scheme and using specific objective to get specific look both can be artistic methods.

However, most photographs produced with these methods were produced not to express the author's PoV but rather to be liked by wide vriety of people. There is no specific concept behind these photos in most cases - these cases might be bad, not lomography itself.

I myself alter the images from my digital camera in a way which I have never seen to be used to get the specific look which I like but that isn't lomography for sure.

Why is 'originality' something that you are trying so desperately to attain?

Ignoring your outlandish processing, these shots are mundane with no subject and no story. If an 'artist' refuses to exert effort into basic composition, then why should anybody strain to tolerate such ineptitude?

I guess lomographys marketing, "shoot, dont think" has been thoroughly absorbed by your psyche.

All things aside, you should definitely post more shots because criticism will only improve your work.

Try to post a chain of photos without coments and see what happens. Also try to read the recent announcement.

Ignoring the rest of your post: are you sure in that I gave any reason for you to act this way? You may try to find the post which I posted photos in reply to and see what was discussed before you decided to post what you posted.

Before you posted all those fecal stained images, we were discussing the finer points of images stained with feces. You are correct that your images belong in this thread.

Regarding the r9k filter, I concur; it should be disabled in the board settings.
