josh and my parents bought me a diana f+ camera for my birthday! i’m super excited! lomography has recently peaked josh and my interests and since josh is the silly person that he is, he bought one for himself too! gotta love that. my birthday isn’t until sunday the 28th but of course josh went ahead and gave it to me early a few weeks ago…he can never keep secrets.

i’ve never had a non-digital camera before so i’m trying to get used to not being able to shoot 500 pictures and not have to worry about running out of film. i’ve been kind of hesitant about taking pictures because i don’t want to “waste” the film, but at the same time i realize that that goes against the whole idea of lomography and capturing life without thinking too much about it too much. so yeah, i’m trying though! of course josh is geeking out with it and learning about all the cool mods you can do with them..and since they’re so cheap i’m hoping we can start a collection of lomo camera..how sweet would that be?

the first night we went out on my scooter and took some pictures and experimented with the different settings. we had a lot of fun, but the pictures came out wayyyyy under-exposed. josh said he read somewhere that if you get 1 or 2 good shots out of your first roll of film then you’re ahead of the game. it takes a lot of experimenting to get it right. so we tried buying 400 speed film and went out again, during the day this time, and took pictures of some stuff as we walked around campus. we just got the film back and it came out MUCH better!!! totally awesome…and as soon as we figure out how to fix our scanner i’ll upload them on here. until then..here’s some other people’s photos that have been taken with the diana f+

 

yeahhhhhh super awesome
