Bug-Eyed with the Supersampler

What’s with bugs and multiple vision? I can’t imagine what at world it will be if I’m bug-eyed, but I really appreciate capturing things at a different vision or perspective with my Lomography Supersampler camera.

Using an a toy action camera at a recent Lomowalk was really unintentional. My Olympus XA2’s batteries finally gave up on me just before the Lomowalk started, so I was forced to transfer a roll of slide film into my my Supersampler (which I brought for my friend Nan, so that he can borrow it from me the whole walk). :p

Cloudy days and action cameras like the Supersampler don’t really jive. To add to the mess, I used an ISO 100 Kodak Ektachrome slide film…which was a no-no in the first place if you’re talking about film ISOs and their respective environments. I was literally almost shooting blind, as I also lost my Supersampler’s viewfinder and hand to cope with using an improvised film cardbard to serve as my viewfinder for the toy camera. So I did just gamble with my shots in hope that there would be results after the whole thing.

I was shooting towards the sun, clouds, made rat’s eye view of shots, shooting by the hip etc. All I wanted from the whole walk was to get lucky shots to keep.

To my surprise just a while ago when I was importing photos from my Digiprint CD, I have been able to recover all the shots that were from the whole roll of film. Another surprise was the color of the pictures from cross-processing. I just love surprises from doing some lomo once in a while.
