lomo effect (vintage)

lomography = cool photography. well at least that's what it is for me. i also wanted to have some lomo cams or toy cams. i got a fuji instax mini for myself. (haven't posted it here though)

anyway, i'm always in awe every time i see lomo photos. the look and the feel of them just give a different kind of effect. the down part of having a lomo cam is, it's quite expensive when you want to develop your shots and the accessibility or availability of the films since some of them are just being sold in special lomo stores.

since i don't have the budget to buy myself another lomo cam yet, i've decided to look for photoshop tutorials online that would somehow give our digital photos the same effect, or at least close to lomo's effects.

here is one tutorial i've found. pretty good turorial and easy to understand. not to mention that it produces a great lomo effect!

tutorial taken from freeonlineclasses.net visit it if you want to learn and try this effect for yourself.

below is an example of a photo i edited. followed the steps but i kinda played around the colors to achieve my taste for this photo. hope you like it!
