I just love experimenting around with my Takashi Digital Lomo Camera.
It has some interesting distortions up close.
Among other modes, it can do black and white, or
negative. I haven’t figured out what triggers the distortions though.
Strangely enough all these except the last are straight out of the camera. All I did on the last photo was crop it.
Paying extra for bad photographs. What a concept.
While I like the photo variations you’ve done I have seen some that I wonder what would possess a photographer to do something like that.
The distortion is interesting.
Is that where you stayed?
Granny – The motive is curiosity. He is an engineer, remember?
Yogi – A wide angle lens will distort like that when held close up. Maybe you were farther back when you took the last one.
Lunch Friday?
Cool photos! Where is that, downtown I assume? I dig the ‘negative’ mode! Plus the distortion is kinda quirky and charming. Were you going to quirky and charming?
My favorite is the one in pink and black.
Wish I had a LOMO camera like that. I just know I would love playing with it. I like the effect!
The flat sign becomes a dimensional perspective in that lens! Fascinating effect!
You are having fun with photography, aren’t you? And I do love the results you get!! Terrific captures for the day and I hope it’s been a good day!

Very arty 🙂
I like your experiments, Yogi. Mine distorts (especially noticeable on architecture) when I’m close.
Nice shots!
Like these shots. The experiment is well done.
SIGNS
Nice shots
That camera makes some fun stuff possible!
You’ll figure it out. In the meantime, these are interesting options and it looks like fun.
I usually prefer SOOC (with maybe some cropping) but these LOMO experiments look pretty neat.
New toy, eh. The sign looks like it from the 1950’s.
The curvature is really a curiosity. Looks fun to play around with, and maybe more fun to figure out how it works and why.
Does the sign really curve like that, or is it the camera? At first I thought I was going to see a sign advertising mayonnaise…don’t guess so. Love the variations on the theme. genie
That’s fun! As long as you can get un-distorted ones when you want to! I”d probably get stuck on the distorted mode and have to have those for the rest of my life.
(My daughter got hers stuck on sports mode — where it takes a bunch of rapid fire repeats — she had 70 zillion pictures of a flower in her garden.
