Lomography Camera Kinds
Action Sampler Takes Four Lomos In One
Four lomography shots with just one click? How can that be possible?
That is something that has been bothering your mind for some time now when you heard of the Action Sampler. And you certainly just cannot believe that there is such a thing. Perhaps if it was said that the Action Sampler could take four different shots with just one press of a button and just hold it down while the camera takes all shots, then it is very much possible. However, if you say that it takes four shots with just one press, now that can be quite difficult to accept.
To make things easier for you to believe, just think of it this way. The Action Sampler is a lomography camera and when you say lomography, it means that it certainly can be one really weird type of camera so much so that it can take not so ordinary photos. That is lomography to most people.
And so the Action Sampler has been created so much so that it has four lenses. That is what allows the camera to take four photos with just one shot. And since these four lenses are not located on top of each other, you will then be able to capture one scene with four different angles. Now that is something you cannot do easily with a normal camera.
People who are into lomography oftentimes have to deal with the shutter speed or the aperture or maybe the focus. But if you have got the Action Sampler, all you need to think about is just which scene you would like to shoot and just you want it to look like. You may have to do some experimenting first with a roll of film to see how the camera works at first but once you get into its groove, you are definitely on your way to lomography greatness.
What kind of film do you need for this camera? Well, all you need to do is load it with a 35mm film since this unit made for lomography is a 35mm camera. It is just a small one and it weighs only a hundred grams at that so that means you would not even notice that it is in your pocket or in your bag. At first glance, you may think that it resembles an alien with its four lenses but take pictures and you will forget all about its appearance.

Cameras – From Disposables to SLRs
There are a lot of cameras available in the market and it can be overwhelming sometimes. In addition to that, the charm of the sales assistant may cause you to be under a “spell” for overspending and impulsive buying. So, here is the breakdown of the different kinds of cameras being sold. This will help you have a set goal in mind and avoid any chances of being talked into something that you didn’t want in the first place.
Of course, we have to start with the basics. How much more simpler can you get than the single use cameras. These are cameras that are typically sold in tourist spots. They’re also referred to as the disposable cameras. The typically contain a single roll of film, usually colored, and the camera itself is simply made out of cardboard. They only have a single-shutter speed and fixed focus. No fancy macro shots with this one.
Nowadays though, you can buy ones with flash or ones that are waterproof. After you finished the roll of film, you have to take it to be developed and the camera box is recycled. This camera is generally used by tourists who find that there is something wrong with the camera they have. The features of this kind camera are not fit for professional photography.
Then, there’s the typical point and shoot camera. You can get the kind with the single or dual focal length or the kind with the zoom. Some models have the fixed focus and some have the infrared auto focusing. The fixed focus is the kind where you have to touch the capture button softly in order to get a good photo. But the infrared auto focusing ones are the kind that focuses automatically.
There are set shooting modes in some models such as the snow setting or the twilight setting. Some cameras even have the red-eye reduction setting. These are perfect for people who are not really into serious photography and just want to take simple but beautiful pictures.
Also, there are the Single Lens Reflex cameras or the SLR’s. These are the big and bulky cameras that people lug around. As the name implies, it has just one lens for viewing and creating the photo. The SLR gives you full control of the focus and exposure which is why it is typically used by professional photographers.
SLR cameras can upgraded, in a way, by adding different accessories such as different lenses or even an add-on flash. Some SLR’s even have the auto-focus feature and can be set in different shooting modes for faster and easier photography.
There are still other cameras available such as the rangefinder or the twin lens reflex cameras but these are typically used by those who are actually pursuing a serious career in photography. Also, there are other, more artsy, cameras such as the lomography cameras which take distorted pictures that give an artistic effect to any photo you take.
Basically, when you’re looking for a camera, you have to do some research as to which kind of camera fits your job and your lifestyle. Once you have done so, then, no sales assistant can force you into going home with something that you don’t need.
