What is lomography?
L omography is the commercial trademark of Lomographische AG, Austria for products and services related to photography. The name is inspired by the former state-run optics manufacturer LOMO PLC of St. Petersburg, Russia. LOMO PLC created and produced the 35 mm LOMO LC-A camera - which became the centerpiece of Lomography's marketing and sales activities. This camera was loosely based upon the Cosina CX-1 and introduced in the early 80's.
Lomography emphasizes casual, snapshot photography. Characteristics such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure, blurring, "happy accidents," and alternative film processing are often considered part of the "Lomographic Technique." Users are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to their photography, and use these technique to document everyday life, as the Lomo LC-A's small size, simple controls, and ability to shoot in low light encourages candid photography, photo reportage, and photo vérité.

I love lomography because I have freedom to do all the shots that I wanted. Usually, we get a masterpiece if we let ourselves to take a lot of shots and choose whatever themes that we wanted. I practiced my first lomography at Orange Beach. Luckily, vacation rentals there are affordable, so I'm hassle free about the budget. I only took a lot of shots, and I'm so surprised because my pictures are incredible.
