But, for the longest time I couldn’t figure it out how people took photos look like this.  Then one day searching the web, I realized I needed a Lomo LC-A <A href="http://amazon.com/gp/product/B000UBTHJ4?ie=UTF8&tag=livingroom-20&link_code=em1&camp=212341&creative=384065&creativeASIN=B000UBTHJ4&adid=2ef45e79-7ff0-4e70-ae1f-dc7b45707b83" target="_blank" id="amzn_cl_link_0" name="B000UBTHJ4">camera</A>.  This is a Russian made camera that was a knock off of another camera.  It is poorly made and by Japanese camera standards, a bad picture taker too.  As the legend goes, somewhere in the 1990’s a cult following developed and hasn’t stop since.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/how-to-make-digital-photos-look-like-lomo-photography/"><STRONG>Getting Started - Creating a Vignette </STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/how-to-make-digital-photos-look-like-lomo-photography/"><P>The first thing you want to do is create the classic vignette that the Lomos are well known for and I achieve this by doing a freehand lasso of a circle around the photo.  It doesn’t need to be perfect and to prevent hard edges, I set the feather to 80-90px before creating the circle.
