Resting with the leaves Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a small park just near Russell Square in London. In the theme of Lomography, I just pointed the camera and shot without focusing or "setting it up".

Fall is coming and it's great to see all the leaves on the ground.

Carolyne,
I remember myself sitting in the same place a few years ago, in the same season.
There's a sens of motion (probably caused by that mystorious lomo effect) like if the leaves are blown in the wind. a great effect.
I like it.

Well this is art... Your Lomo pictures are great and I believe this is the one I like the most.

The saturated colors with the corners blackened, the "movement" of the leaves, everything is a bit blured except the guy, and even the position and expression of him are great! Even the overexposed sky works...

The compositon is fantastic with all those diagonals.

Lomo in London. You've got to love it!

Cool shot Carolyn. I like the sense of motion created by the camera contrasting with the feeling of relaxation comming off of the subject. Well done...again... and again...

This is great Carolyn, and I guess what lomography is all about. Of course, what really makes this shot is the excellent diagonal of his legs, with his feet ending square in the corner, that looks so great. I am not bothered by the softness or the overexposure in the background either, as they add to the feel of this being a "Lomo" shot. The vignetting from your Lomo looks great too.
