Lomography Diana F+ Giveaway







courtesy of our lovely friends at
 {UK}

You must know by now how much I love photography, as I don’t shy away from an opportunity to show off my Instagram photos or talk about my old analogue cameras (or lack of a DSLR).
So when our lovely friends at Lomography UK got in touch with a camera to offer to you, one of our readers, well….I had to jump a little, sing a little and smile a LOT (and, of course, couldn’t say no, could I?!)
For accepting this great giveaway prize I was also offered the same camera to play with (talk about good karma!). And it has been a sweet sweet dream! In fact I have asked Santa Claus last December for one and he, the so-and-so, didn’t comply (even though I refuse to accept I was on the ‘bad’ list).
I haven’t developed my first film yet but as soon as I do, of course, I’ll be sharing them with you.

me and my mr pink

Obviously I don’t yet know how good or bad my photos will be but, the fact that this camera is SO gorgeous (and hot pink!) made me feel like a cool hipster chick for the day, carrying the latest and most exclusive fashion statement….hmm, should I have kept that thought to myself?!




Analogue is definitely back. You have a limited amount of frames to use, which serves as an incentive for quality as you’ll have to choose where you will ‘spend’ your frame.
And then, there’s the ‘not knowing’! The ‘wandering’ what will come out and hoping that at least ONE will be a good one!
Lastly, the excitement of getting your photos from the shop! Oh yes, I miss those days: where it wasn’t a mundane task, it as an EVENT!! Observing the images one by one, paying attention to all the details with such an excitement only compared to opening a surprise present or discovering a mysterious treasure {oooooh!}



Hence, for the best goodbye to April and welcome to the new month of May here are the rules of this giveaway:

  5. Well... analogue never really "left". Not in photography (someone, please, tell that to Kodak) and not in recorded music, either (my good old vinyls still 'hiss' across the air, every now and then).

    In fact, some of the best images in the world are still produced on film. Even some of my best images were produced on film (go figure...).

    Yes. I have wound up quite a few reels of Kodak Tri-X and Ilford HP4, by hand, in a pitch black bathroom, back in the days when the word “digital” stood for a couple of red luminous numbers on a questionable taste wrist watch. I have had a fair share of dodging and burning,... of swinging trays. Back then, I was spending so much time in the house bathroom that I can still feel the scent of the developer, the stopping bath (sometimes replaced with vinegar) and the hypo(sulfite of soda). That, and the sound of people banging on the door and shouting at me to free the bathroom.

    And I loved every minute of it. But I can't really say that I miss it. Well... maybe just a little bit. Just the “romantic” part of it.

    Of course, I would do it again today, given the space and the time to do it. But the truth is that I can do, today, pretty much, the same things that I did back then, sitting at my computer.

    It's true that I don't wind the film or sway the trays anymore, but I still dodge and burn. I still take a lot of shots, most of which I discard or “throw away”, the same way I did before. The fact that it costs me less today than it did in those days, is just a bonus that I, gladly, accept.

    In photography, I owe everything to analogue.

    If nothing else, digital had the virtue of making photography available to everyone. And that's a good thing.

    As with a lot of other things, I am not a fundamentalist when it comes to choose sides. Both, analogue and digital, have their place in my pictures.

    Most of all, I love photography.

  55. Hi everyone!
    My name is Sandra Gadea, and I´m from Lima-Peru, anyway I decided to participate.
    I have to admit that I love to take pictures, when I was a child I remember always borrowing my father´s cam without him notice it, and took it with me for city or museum excursions that my school already planned. I was just only 6 or 7 years old but I tried really hard to get some pictures, and that´s when I started to love pictures, specially taking them at any reason till now.
    I´ve been looking for some photography classes but unfortunately I couldn't because I´ve been travelling or working and studying foreign languages (wich is my other passion) at the same time, so I hope some day I´ll join one, and of course I need a really good cam first!
    I became this blog´s fan last year, and by the first time I saw it I loved it...till now! I love kids, even though I don´t have any yet, this blog is fantastic because I could get many ideas for different subjects. That´s why I also already recommend it to my friends and relatives here in Peru :D
    I promise that if I win, I´m going to take many pictures from my hometown and post them here, so you also could take a look of how great works this cam hehe
    Well I have to go to my Italian classes so Ci scriviamo!
    Have a great weekend!
