Lomo

Those analog-loving folks over at Lomography have just announced a new film pack: Lomography X Tungsten 64 35mm, which will set you back €19.90 for a pack of three 36 exposure rolls. Tungsten film is white balanced for tungsten bulbs, which look warm and yellowish with daylight film.

Over at the Lomography Magazine, Argentinian user etxenike tells the story of picking up a roll of expired Kodak film at auction hoping to use it with his Diana F+, but instead it was an exposed spool of Verichrome Pan 116 film, made by Kodak in the 50s and 60s. So, doing what any photographer would do, he got the film developed, and ended up with five surviving exposures from the eight on the roll.

Instagram, Hipstamatic and Camera+ have all shown that iPhone users love their fake vintage photography. Slapping some Polaroid filters over the shots from your phone has become a cottage industry — but in a very short while, it'll become much, much bigger. The next version of the iPhone's operating system is iOS 5, and part of the new features is an overhauled Camera app, and a whole new framework for developers to make use of it.

Nik Software have made a name for themselves as makers of software plugins, but have now branched into the portable world of iOS, with a new iPad app called Snapseed. This photo editing app has all the basic editing controls you could want, but also adds a bevy of adjustable filters to give your images a decidedly lomo feel. With 11 built-in filters, there a vast array of tweaks and twiddles you can do to your images.
