Lomo Fisheye

I've been living for in Vienna several years and my plan is to change the city when I graduate from university. But until that happens I'm going to extract everything possible from this city.
And something that has long interested me and stems precisely from Vienna is the Lomography. That's why I want to dedicate this so long planned post to my new hobby.

 
The story of the Lomo started by a group of Viennese students. At their vacation to Prague, they bought some LC-A cameras for fun, which they bought in an old photo shop. After that they held their impressions of the city with  their new cameras. When they came back to Vienna they made the films develop at a supermarket (the smallest and  cheapest preparation format). The photos exceeded their expectations and they were thrilled by the expression of the images. The term Lomography wah born at this event.

There are different types of lomo cameras. V. wrote a post about her new Diana F+ Camera a few months ago. At the same time I bought my fisheye camera. I chose this camera because it is the most affordable it is not so diffucult to use... Perfect for beginners in lomography exactly like me. But with practice I realised that it's not as easy as it seems. Some photos are really dark although there was enough light and I still don't understand why. But I'm convinced that with time it will get better. I have just to follow the ten golden rules of Lomography.

Here is my first tryout with the lomo fisheye camera:
