Cacti need water, too! When they get it, they are fat and flowering and quite beautiful. I was really surprised to learn that their leaves are their spikes – ouch!

Prickly Pear a la Lomo
I am not sure if the lab is to blame or the camera, but this image was filthy when I got the scans back from the lab. Either way, for what I am doing, it is unimportant. I am just playing. At some point, I will check to see if the debris is stuck in the film. I cleaned up the worse of it in post, and then did some color correction.
This is an interesting process, looking at the images out of the Lomo LC-A. To my eye, it says poor equipment and bad images. On the other hand, I can see why it could be just fun. My persnickety side is at war with my “let’s do it and see what happens” side.
Aesthetically, I do not think grungy, dirty pictures (with debris all over them) are interesting if it was not done intentionally.
To counter the Lomo, I have a 6×6 Isoletta III rangefinder due to arrive today. Let’s see what that produces.

Spring Cacti
Seasonal Fruit
The Kiron 70-150mm is another vintage lens with excellent rendition of detail. Some post processing in LR and Photo Suite 8 Effects.
