my wild love
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 5 August 2009 in Plant & Nature.
I have recently gotten a lomo LC-A camera so the next series of shots will be in colour, which I realize is highly out of character for me :)

An exquisite picture Sharon, lovely, peaceful and a bit dreamy with the add of vigneting and this criss crossed processing. An english garden, for me, at its best !

Out of character? Why is that? The colours are just great and your composition and processing are spot on! Very nice work BC

@Rui: Thanks Rui :) Well out of character because it's mostly black and white I shoot, and my first roll of lomo film that I shot was colour.
Sophie Asselin from Montréal, Canada

If I well understood, it was your first color try (or trial) ???
For a try it is a very good one !!! I like the saturated colors and the diagonal composition.
Sorry for my english... and thanks a lot for your visit on my blog
See you soon I hope.

@Veronique: Merci Veronique :) Yes, my very first colour try, and first roll of film in this camera. I do love my LC-A lomo camera :)

The picket fence makes an excellent background for the beautiful blossoms. Very nice color. The shot is very appealing.

What a beauty ... my scars will be healed looking at this great picture. It will take weeks to work myself through all this beauties. But I know now that it will be weeks of pleasure. Glad your comment lead me to this garden of amazing pictures. It's so beautiful! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

If Holga is the medium format toy camera, LOMO has to be THE original 35mm toy camera. I think it can give you picture quality beyond the toy label. An extremely fun camera to play with. Enjoy. Nice shot!

A beautiful one Sharon. Certainly not in your habits, but it is superb. You can then reach to all forms of photography!

Oh Sharon, what a feeling, I adore this, old French Country charm, wow, and the title : perfect!!!

The effect is really magical. It's not the camera alone, of course, but your particular vision of the world as seen through it. By the way, I've come to this post backwards from the next two, and didn't realise that they were from a lomo.
7 Aug 2009 12:04pm
@Andrew Gould: Thanks so much Andrew :) I suppose I ought to have left the blurb that this was a lomo series in the rest of the posted photos. Hindsight.

This is a magic shot! It went through my eyes to my heart and it made me sighhhhhhh with pleasure!

even though in colour it's still your style! :)) This is just breathtaking! The tones, framing and post editing are superb!

Yes, out of character, yet character building --especially of vision. I think taking steps like these is like discovering one's love for imagery all over again, hence your title. Saw the recent color lomo and LOVE IT!
