Ray-Ray Catches A Fish – Kompact Automat

Shot this in March on the Big Island of Hawaii. My best bud since high school, Ray, got it in his head he wanted to catch a fish with nothing but a piece of bamboo, some string, and a few pieces of calamari.

Amazingly, he did it.

And then he threw it back.

Luckily I had along my trusty LOMO Kompact Automat (LC-A) to capture the occassion correctly. Fuji Superia 100. At Dusk.

I think this photo really shows what a LOMO can do when the light is right... the LC-A shoots particularly well during the dusk hours, with moody vignettes and the whole bit.

Of course, the real trick is getting things in focus when the light is starting to get low, but I've found you get better with practice.

I believe this one was Fuji Provia 100, shot at ASA100.

OK, I've been away for a while, but I'm back again and badder than ever ;D This was shot on my LOMO LC-A using Fuji Superia 100, and exposure set on "A."

I've always loved these Auto-Portrait shots. This one is cross procedd digitally, via a curve I developed in Photoshop and then uploaded into my scanner.
