I’ve had my Fisheye No. 2 camera for awhile now but this is the first time I’m going to post a shot I took from it. It’s not really a good one but I want to share because of the story behind the photo.
Yoon Ji Hoo in Lomo
This is Yoon Ji Hoo, a character played by Kim Hyun Joong (김현중) in the Korean drama Boys Over Flowers (꽃보다 남자). So, what’s the story behind this? Boys Over Flowers is the one which started it all… my Korean craze and my love for SS501 (Hyun Joong’s singing group).
Last February, I went to Batangas with my aunt and uncle again. I was missing the boys (SS501) and I was thinking I should get my SS501 fix no matter what. One day, my cousin, uncle and I went to the market. I saw this tiny barbershop (a kiosk) in the middle of the market. And what really caught my attention were the Boys Over Flowers posters posted all over the shop. I didn’t have my camera with me then so I thought I’d go back there just to take a picture. I did go back the next day but the shop was closed. Since it was just a kiosk, it was covered with heavy cloth. So, I lifted the cloth and sneaked my head through one of the windows and took this shot. It was really embarrassing because the people from the other shops might have thought that I was a burglar or something. Haha!
I was thinking of going back again to ask if I can buy the poster but it never opened again that day and I had to leave for Manila the next day. Sigh. Hopefully, it’ll still be there when I go back there next year, maybe.

Lomography Spinner 360º
I want!!! This is the Lomography Spinner 360º. It’s a 35mm camera and it captures everything around you in one 360° photo. Cool!!!
I will definitely buy this one! But not today. Sigh. I promised myself to finish paying off debts on my credit card first. Looking on the bright side, I don’t have to buy a Horizon camera anymore. Or maybe I will. Haha! And here is a sample shot from the Lomography site:

Kamusta sa lahat? Pasensiya na at medyo matagal akong nawala sa LP. Ngayon, ako ay nagbalik… at muli kang nasilayan… ay kanta pala yon! Haha!
Narito ang lahok ko para sa linggong ito…
Ito ang isa sa mga pinakabagong laruan ko ngayon. Isa itong kamera na ang pangalan ay Oktomat. Gawa ito sa plastik pati ang mga lente… oo, mga lente! Meron itong walong lente at kapag pinindot mo ang shutter ay mahahati ang isang kwadro ng litrato sa walo. Para mas malinaw, eto ang isang halimbawa ng kuha nitong kamera na to…
Parang wala lang pero diba nakakatuwa? Paulit-ulit lang. Pero dito ako pinaka-natutuwa… tignan niyo ang kalalabasan pag ginawang animated ang larawan na ito…
O diba ang kulet? Haha! Para na siyang maigsing pelikula diba?
Sana po ay nagustuhan niyo ang lahok ko para ngayong linggong to. Magandang araw sa lahat!
Sali ka sa

This is my entry for Litratong Pinoy this week. This is one of my newest toys… it’s a camera called Oktomat. It is made entirely of plastic, well, except for the screws, and even the 8 lenses are plastics. A single press of the shutter will capture 8 shots, dividing one frame into 8. I know the sample shot doesn’t look extraordinary but I really love it when you turn it into an animated gif. It’s almost like a mini movie.

My Fisheye No. 2 White Knight Edition and my Lomography Ringflash are here! Yay!
Got them on February 4. My aunt and uncle brought it from the US. I ordered them at Amazon and had them delivered to my aunt’s house. I was supposed to buy it here in the Phil but it’s not available, even for ordering. Then I also tried the Lomography site but they only had the black one and they also didn’t have the ringflash. Finally, I tried Amazon and guess what! Both were on sale!!! At least 20% off each. I really hate paying using cc but I had to just to grab the great deal.
And now just a few pics to boast…

Now, I can’t wait to go to the beach this weekend to take some snaps. I’m also bringing my Holga so I can try it with the ringflash. I also loaded it with 2 35mm films. You’ll find out what I mean when it becomes successful. Also, I will be bringing the Oktomat too. The first the time I used it wasn’t successful, I didn’t realize I had to load it with an ASA 400 film. I just wasted 1 roll of slide film. But it’s okay… better luck next time. And I’m making sure of it! Haha!
Now, to figure out how to finish 3 rolls of film in the same sceneries in 5 days…

Got my new baby yesterday!!! Yay! My cousin arrived yesterday for a month’s vaycay and with her was my new camera, the Oktomat!
It has 8 lenses… yes, you read that right… 8! It takes 8 consecutive shots with just one click of the shutter button, slicing a single image into 8 little frames. You can read more about the Oktomat here.
It is originally priced USD 40 but I got it for only USD 34, shipping fee included. I got a hefty 25% discount during the LC-A’s 25th anniversary plus 10 piggy points (1 piggy = USD 1) from my Lomohome account.
I just loaded it with my very first roll and I can’t wait to start shooting and see the shots!
