A few selections from the last roll of Lomography Lobster 110 film I shot. Still figuring out exposure and focus with the very limited controls. It certainly has a vibe.
A yellow/orange monochrome photo of a sunset residential street with light glinting off parked cars. The photo is overscanned so you can see the writing on the film stock, which says "Lomography Lobster RS200", and a frame number. The photo is very low-res and was clearly shot on a very small-format, low-end film camera.A yellow/orange monochrome photo of two cats laying on a sofa. One is on a sheepskin on the back of the couch, the other is lying on the seat. They are nice to look at, absolutely top-tier A+ cats. The photo is overscanned so you can see the writing on the film stock, which says "Lomography Lobster RS200", and a frame number. The photo is very low-res and was clearly shot on a very small-format, low-end film camera.A yellow/orange monochrome photo of the sun flaring behind cherry blossoms.

Could not have asked for better and more interesting weather when some colleagues and I went for a photo walk yesterday. Heavy fog, light fog, haze, clear sun, under the shadow of the mountain - we got to try a lot of different conditions!
A very foggy, almost monochrome photo of some trees, bushes, and pilings on a lakeshoreA somewhat less foggy photo of a gravel-topped dike receding away into mist. A person is visible in the midground, taking photos of the scene from a different angle.An almost abstract photo of the sun shining through fog with a lower secondary layer of mist below, reflected in the water. A mountainside is only barely perceptible through the fog. No details are visible, only large soft shapes.

Some Bangkok street and canal photos #street #photography #bangkok #night #photosky
A photo taken from the back seat of a tuk-tuk, looking past the driver, the driver's reflection in the mirror, the windscreen, the back window of another tuk-tuk, and finally seeing a young Thai woman with a ponytail in the back of the tuk-tuk ahead of oursA dark nighttime photo of a lone man sitting at one of the tiny tables next to a chaotic van, parked on the side of the street, where a family cooks and sells food.A black-and-white photo of a flooded marketplace alley, with people trying to make their way through the water, while vendors continue to sell their wares on either side.A colour photo of a woman on a tiny boat tied up to a tiny dock on a canal in Bangkok. The woman's boat is mostly taken up with a huge wok and other kitchen equipment, as she prepares food to sell. The woman sits under a pink umbrella.

Back from Bangkok and finished sorting through my photos... These are some of my favorite B&W street photos, to narrow down the list a bit! #street #photography #blackandwhite #bangkok #photosky (and yes, in Bangkok a canal is a street)
A black-and-white photo of some boys swimming in a canal in Bangkok, hanging onto the edge of a boat with another boat visible in the frame, and tropical vegetation behindA black-and-white photo of what appears to be a young girl of 10 or so, driving a scooter at breakneck speed, with a toddler perched in front of her.A black and white photo looking up at a cat climbing onto a rough power pole. It is glossy and looks alert, but friendly. A moody black-and-white photo of cars, a tuktuk, and parked scooters on a smoky Bangkok street at night. The edges of the frame are blurry from the type of lens used. It looks like a still from a 1950s noir movie, aside from the modern cars.

A black and white photo of the front face of a parking garage, in the early evening. The building is short and mostly brick, and it's partially covered in vines like an ancient jungle ruin. A black and white, low-angle photo of the Vancouver Public Library. It is night and the windows are lit. The building's architecture is curves and lines - it looks like a modernized Roman colosseum.A black and white photo taken inside one of the curved arcades on the outside of the Vancouver Public Library. The viewpoint vanishes around a corner to the right. It is night and the inside of the arcade is lit with electric lights on every column.A black and white photo of a woman in a dress, at night, standing in front of a display window for a closed store. She is lit by the display. She is, herself, taking a photo of the display. Everything else around is dark.

A winter nighttime photo showing three figures in silhouette,  looking a bit like criminal bigfoots, who are actually sledding on a snow moundA stark monochrome image of skeletal trees on a white snowy hill, outlined against a grey sky that's only slightly darker than the snow.A photo looking out the rear window of a train, showing the tracks receding into the distance between snowy trees. The window is a smallish rectangle in the center of frame. The photo looks monochrome but isn't, quite, there are hints of color visible in the metal walls on either side of the window.A monochrome image of a lone, tall, skeletal tree with snow on it. Both the foreground bushes and the background trees are motion-blurred, giving the picture a slightly surreal look.

The owl is facing away, looking back at the camera with one eye.Another photo of the owl, clearly visible against the sky, perched on a dead tree with moss hanging down under the snow.Another photo of the owl, wings spread, flying away from the camera. The owl is slightly out of focus, with a snowy sapling in the foreground in focus. The feathers on the end of its spread wings look like dark fingers against the pale snowy trees in the background.
