Reminder: Check your LC-A+ Batteries

I am a LC-A+ lomographer. My fiancee just bought me an Instant Back + & Wide Angle lens as my birthday gifts. I attached the wide angle lens and this time I can finish my 36 shots easily with the ‘wide angle’ view. And I sent the film to the camera shop for develop. I received my photo in the next day but there are only 5 frames were used. The rest of the 31 frames are blank.

And after I finished the fim, I installed the Instant Back+ to my LC-A+. And I took 2 shots but the instant film output are totally blank and dark. I followed the installation correctly and I do not think I have made any mistake.

After I spent sometimes on the Internet and did some checking on my LC-A+. I realized how stupid I am and wasted my shots. It was all due to the LOMO LC-A+ run out of battery so the camera shuttle unable to operate. That explains why my shots are blank (wasted film is fine but I feel sad that I wasted the shots I made at the moment) and why my instant film is totally dark. No shutter, no image is capture into the film.
Solution: Just buy LR44 or SR44 to replace the battery.

And how to know when is your battery run out? For doing so press the shutter and see if the two LED lights inside the camera’s viewfinder are lit. If not at least one is lit you should exchange batteries. [You amy find this instruction instant back+ manual].

Instagram

Instagram is a great iPhone app that allow us to take photo with iPhone and apply different filter before we share the photo.

It’s MUST HAVE app for every iPhone user!

However, one thing I don’t like is it allow user to post non-taken-by-iPhone photo. I saw many others import their high quality photo which is taken by camera or even professional camera like DSLR. It’s just like a cheat where user shared their DSLR photo in instagram. I would prefer there is an app where only allow to show mobile photo. Hopes I can build one.

Young Fruit Stall Hawker

Young Fruits Stall Hawker at Patong, Phuket.

After the last Wego & HolidayIQ offsite meeting at Phuket, Thailand in the morning & afternoon, colleagues and I grabbed a cab from our resort, Serenity Resort & Residences Phuket to Patong Beach (THB700).

This photo was shot at Patong while my colleague was buying or bargaining for her items. I was at the opposite the small road and people, cars, buses, and tuk-tuk cars were keep passing by. It’s getting dark and I noticed these two young boy & girl. Day & Night, Boy & Girl, The Fruit Stall Hawker, opposite the road and in front of the crowd traffic…

今年的十二月,我的公司在普吉岛办了一个会议。会议完毕之后,我与一班同事们乘搭了计程车(van仔)去了普吉岛旅客居多且热闹的PATONG区。全程的我都拿着相机随地的在这在那的乱拍。到了傍晚,走着走着就到长长的街边小摊,有卖衣服的,卖纪念品的,卖吃的,出租电单车的,还有很多很多小旅社等等。当我同事在一条小街边死命的向小摊档售卖员讨价还价时,恰巧地看到一个非常吸引我且想去捕捉的画面。在喧哗热闹的小街上,陆续不断的有步行人,大巴士,嘟嘟车,轿车等在我与一个水果摊子中经过而去。一个年轻男孩与一个年轻女孩的水果小摊…
