Camera Modification: Turn your LC-A+ into a Rainbow Camera!
written by sandravo on 2013-05-16 #gear #tutorialsPersonally I am a huge fan of redscaling. It allows you to get some color in your photos, even on the grayest of days.

From now on, you no longer have to guesstimate, but you can actually focus your image using your viewing lens! Read on and find out how.

Shooting Long Exposures With Your LC-A+
written by stitch on 2011-12-09 #gear #tutorialsLong exposures is an old trick that one sees often. The results always have this "wow" effect and the first question that always pops in your head is “how long was this exposure?” The LC-A+ (also applies to the LC-A) has the edge for low-light photography because of it's light metering. But in this case, one has to "deceive" the light meter.

Heart Transplant for my Lomo LC-A+
written by ethermoon on 2011-08-19 #gear #tutorialsLast March 2011, I bought a Lomo LCA+ camera. To be honest, I am not a fan of LCA+ that much because I myself consider a purist with regards to the original LCA camera. Although a lot of people might tell me that there are no difference in between the shots of these two cameras, I say I will still go for the original because… it’s original per se. I don’t know. Blame myself for being a purist. Well, to each its own.
