expLOMOtion of photography at Le Peche Glace in
Montreal until January 3rd 2007.

entrequatreyeux.com invites you to this explosion of lomography taking
place in the colorful café Le Peche Glace, 2001 mont-Royal East (corner of Bordeaux).
Photographer Eric Bergevin has played with the action sampler, supersampler, fisheye and holga in a way you haven't seen before. Come and see a stunning wall of ten planets or the rise and fall of the eiffel tower and much more...

Fisheye 2 is now available across Canada

2006-08-29T11:26:00.000-07:00

New Features for the Fisheye No. 2
“B” (Bulb) setting
In response to heavy demand from the Lomographic Community at large, the Fisheye 2 has a slamming long-exposure setting. By holding down the shutter button with your finger, you can keep the shutter open for as long as you like – thereby inviting all the gorgeous ambient light outside to come on in. To close the shutter, merely release the button. When using 400ISO film, keeping the shutter open for about 1-3 seconds is usually enough for a nightime city shot. Extend that to 5 seconds or so for a streaky overexposure. If it's really dark out, then let the shutter go for 10-20 seconds. For the sharpest images, place your camera onto something sturdy. Given the Fisheye 2's super-wide-angle view, handheld shots can be pretty sharp too – as long as you hold still. For buckwild abstracts – move you camera around with the shutter open – or even twist it in a circle!
“LNB” variable exposure switch
Use this to control your Fisheye 2's shutter timing. “L” locks the shutter so it can't accidentally fire. “N” shoots a normal, instant exposure (1/100 sec, f/8). “B” or “bulb” selects Fisheye 2's long exposure capabilities – as detailed above.
Standard Flash Hotshoe & Built-In Electronic Flash
Use this to sync a Lomographic Colorsplash Flash or any other manual hotshoe flash to your Fisheye 2. The flash will fire when you hit the shutter release. You can also use the internal (built-in) flash as well.
First and Second-Curtain Flash
When using the “N” setting, both the internal and hotshoe flash will fire when you hit the shutter button (first curtain). If you select “B,” then the hotshoe flash will fire when you first depress the button (first curtain), and the internal flash will fire when you let go of the button (second curtain).
Multiple Exposure Switch (MX)
This allows you to take two or more shots on the same frame. Take your first shot, press the MX button, and you're now ready for the next one. Repeat as many times as you like.
Accessory Viewfinder
Do you see what I see? If your camera suddenly comes alive, looks you in the eye, and asks you this question – then you can calmly reply, “I sure do.” Just slip this little jewel into the hotshoe and you'll get an authentic preview of the fisheye treat waiting for you to capture it.
Full Metal Jacket
If those rowdy bikers are giving you a hard time, then just show ‘em the Fisheye 2's new hard-as-nails metal-plated exterior. Built for toughness, but refined for beauty – you'll feel equally comfortable slinging your camera at a Texas Hog Pit or a Parisian Debutante Ball.

So why don't you answerthat question and submit your Frogeye lomographs for our Lomo H20 Open Wall? it's ready and waiting foryou!

"Unrecognizable Recognizables" - Halifax

2004-08-05T09:39:00.000-07:00

Lomography hits the east coast!

October 4, 2004 7 p.m. @ Economy Shoe Shop 1663 Argyle - Halifax

Five creative minds will try their shooting skills on five different Lomographic cameras for the first time. They will be using the SuperSampler, Pop 9, Holga, ColorSplash and ActionSampler. The theme is "Unrecognizable Recognizables." The point is to find people places and things in and around Halifax that are common and shoot them in a new light. Each photographer will take their own slant on the theme.The Lomographers:Scott Munn is a freelance photographer who dominates the covers of The Coast, Halifax's weekly paper. Laura Graham is a reporter for CBC radio and a freelance photographer. Scott Simpson is a feature film-maker. Chris Smith is a graphic designer and freelance photographer and Megan Wennberg is a freelance writer and photographer. Both have been nominated for East Coast Music awards for their live and set shots of bands. There will be an exhibition of their best work at the Economy Shoe Shop Café and Bar on Argyle Street in Halifax.

The Shoe Shop is called "the trendiest spot in town" by Fodors and it's owned by a former set designer who always has a rotation of interesting art.The exhibition will open on October 4th with the photographers there to talk about their work and show off their new cameras.

If you are a closet east coast Lomographer, it's time to come out. Send your Lomo photos on this theme to 1546 Barrington Street, Apt 605, Halifax, NS B3J 3X7 for a Lomo wall at the show. Contact Laura at (902) 444-5021 for more information.
