Lomography is offering an Advent Calendar of Deals each day– good for their online shop and gallery stores!

That's right – Old-School-style-film-in-the-camera style artistic shooting. Tomorrow's deal is a savings of 21% on any Sprocket Rocket camera. Just use the voucher code ROCKET21 at the Checkout!

Happy Holga Holidays

30 DAYS OF DEALS // DAY 22
To make our holidays brighter, we are back at Photojojo's store for their Holga iPhone Lens. This little gem offers a rotating disk equipped with 9 different lenses! Just fit the case that it comes on over the back of your phone, and you're set. It's like having 9 toy cameras all in one: lenses for dreamy vignettes, vibrant red and green color lenses, multi-image lenses for Spidey-vision (double, triple, and quadruple images), a macro lens for beautiful close-up detail and red, yellow, and blue filters with clear centers for framing your subjects! Just spin the disk, preview the effect on your screen, and then fire away! A fantastic gift for only $30.

Retro Phone Apps

In my last post, I mentioned Hipstamatic – an app that creates retro-style and lomo-style affects with camera phones. There are quite a few retro apps for smart phones. AppAdvice provides an overview of their favorite 12 retro iPhone apps, and CNET gives its take on the top 12 camera apps for Android, with Camera Zoom FX as a top pick. While I like Instagram's filters the best, the sharing feature is not my favorite. PictureShow is one of my favs because I don't have to share, and it offers a ton of filters – brightness, frame, color, and multi-lens. Using these apps you can make everyday moments look cool - like laptops and dog naps!

PictureShow/ Lens: Twin Lens, Frame: Old Fashion, No light leak, Noise: Scratch Hard, Vignette: +.3, No special effect, Color: Red +.3, Bright: +.2, Contrast: -.3 ( I also moved the camera during this one)
