Lomography

Challenge #2 in the It's not about pixel peeping! series. Hosted by pocoloco.

Challenge has finished

Holga, Lomo, Diana. Great really bad plastic camera's. Oversaturation, off color, vignetting, lightleaks, scratches, blotches... what you normally don't wanna see... you get! They don't come digital... so we have to fake it.

Processing rules:

At risk of stating the obvious, PP until it looks Lomo/Holga/Diana.
(Sample images may even be considered too clean! I am not a PP wizard. Search the web for better examples.)

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

All camera's (DSLR/EVIL/Bridge/P&S/Cellphone) permitted! If someone would drop a scanned lomo into the challenge... I might turn a blind eye.
If it looks like it scores high on the imatest scale... you're risking DQ.
