BIG Bobby-Car Classic lomo-style

[zeitmeister]

Oh, my english is not good enough to translate that.
Could you try to make it a little bit more clear? Excuse me!

[Godzilla]

That was a little unclear to me as well... care to elaborate, pixie?

I think what he wanted to say is...

..., but just because you make a look-alike to a lomo-style photo, the photo doesn't suddenly become lomo-style, it's quite impossible to do it in digital world.

And what he means by that is probably that there is more to lomo-style photography than just the extreme vignetting and color distortion of the photos.

[zeitmeister]

... maybe. Respectively, for sure.
But I liked the tutorial.

The philosphy behind luma style is explained and somewhat akin to that of Lars von Trier Dogma 95 manifesto. It's not so much of the way one takes a photograph as much as the attitude put into it. As such it has it's own set of rules:

Take your camera everywhere you go
Use it any time – day and night
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it
Try the shot from the hip
Approach the objects of your lomographic desire as close as possible
Don’t think (william firebrace)
Be fast
You don’t have to know beforehand what you captured on film
Afterwards either
Don’t worry about any rules

Now spontaneity seems to be key, and somehow I find it hard that to happen in a digital world where things are anything but spontaneous.

shitty film cameras + spontaneity = beautiful pictures

My friend Simon (@caffeineinc) and I raced one of these around Gottingen. Even thought they're only small you can do some pretty massive jumps in them!

[zeitmeister]

Hehe, but only a few hundred meters... then you have to change tyres!

Zeitmeister - exactly! I love them little cars.
