Shoot 6 - Loomogrpahy camera



Taking inspiration from the company Lomography, who are attempting to get analogue photography back in main stream, they have been bringing back a lot of Russian type analog cameras which are easy and cheap to use, in an attempt to get film back into regular use. They have a camera that is called the super sampler. Which has 4 lenses and you have 2 options to take all 4 lenses at once or expose them all in 2 seconds which produced different effects. There is no other settings to change on the camera so I a few of my pictures are very dark and are unusable. I used one of their cameras before, the 360 degree camera. I wanted to experiment with unconventional cameras.
I found that the camera was easy to use and in the end I stopped taking time with taking pictures like I normally do with film. As there was no view finder I couldn't know what exactly I was taking pictures of and as there was no light meter or manual settings so a lot of the pictures came out under or over exposed. It was a camera made my lomography and was advised to use a 800 ISO film on a cloudy day. I used a 200 ISO and a 400 ISO. It was sunny for most of the time and I took a few shoots in the car and thought the lights would pick up, but they didn't and came out as black.
The whole shoot went well. I used the camera over a week and found that it a very different experience as it was a small camera that fit in my pocket that I could take spontaneous as there was no messing around with settings and focus, as it focused form 0.3m to infinite.
This is my first shoot with this camera and I would like to go on and look at other lomography articles and see what other interesting shoots I can do. I am also going to do another direct comparison shoot.


This was taken with the short timer and was a selfie with Jason and me. Due to the 4 lenses each strip is at a slightly different focal length.

This is someones hands moving over 2 seconds, it showed movement. It was badly exposed as there wasn't enough light inside. It works a lot better when you are outside.   


Took at arms length, short time and it shows the different angles each lens has.

Over 2 seconds, got Jason to jump and you see that when I printed it I only printed 3 frames out of the 4.
