Faking lomography

Digital photography at its purest is one thing; making use of the digital darkroom to manipulate and produce derivative art is another. I have no knowledge of the politics between the purists and manipulators. I know, however, that if I can do something with my digital photos, and they look good, why wouldn’t I?

I spent the better part of the day looking through lomographs. Photos taken on a lomo have a distinct quality to them. Slightly out of focus, with a haze in some, and most often the picture is oversaturated. The following photos are my own little attempt to duplicate the quality of a lomograph with my stock photos:

dog in sunset, original dog in sunset, hazy
path behind my backyard, original path behind my backyard, hazy and in sepia path behind my backyard, just hazy
another path, original another path, hazy

I have included the photos in their original form.
