Lomo edit

[fullframefotos]

I just started working on a lomo edit. Here are one of my early results. What do people think? Is it true to the genre? Obviously it's a recreation of the style via CS4 but I wanted to hear peoples thoughts. Also on a general scale what do you think of the image? TFL


Camera: Canon EOS 7D
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 24 mm
ISO Speed: 100

Top half looks fine. Bottom half looks very dark. Something about this crop seems off. For me, the glass area looks very interesting and the Buick namplate looks interesting (once I noticed it). But the large trunk area is a bit of a black hole - not much in there to interest the eye.

^- what Sterling said and also lomo typically has some color in it usually over saturated reds. We really don't have any color here, maybe this image would have worked better in black and white? I also think the trunk is just a void of blackness that blends into the background. Was the car black? If so perhaps positioning yourself so there was some reflection from the sun off the car may have helped separate the car from the rest of the image.

^What they said. Lomo does have colors except in b&w. The sky could look really neat in lomo-colors and I think the crop is way too tight. I'd like to see the back-lights as they are pretty significant visual part of the car. Plus if they were on and red, they'd give some more color.
