hi.my name is flikkerr.: a review: Lomography Action Sampler

Ok i know im a couple of days late on this one but iv been super busy, um staying in bed and eating everything i can see.

but here it is, a review on the Lomography Action Sampler

I was given this camera for Christmas of 2010 by Anna, i dont know if you still read my blog but thank you so much for this toy - its one of my favourites and i truly cherish it because its from you.

The Action Sampler is a multi lensed camera and comes in various models. 4, 8 or 12 lenses. i have the 4 lens model and i must say, although iv never used the other models, i think it is the best due to the fact that i feel that fitting 8 or 12 images into a single frame is a bit much and i personally feel you will lose a lot from the image.

The Action Sampler takes 4 images in the span of a second in a counter clock wise direction. it works best if you or your subject is moving in some sense as the the four images will be different opposed to a still object where it will be four of the same images.

This is definitely a day time camera, no matter what film you use, and is best used in full sunlight, even shade seems to mess it up to an extreme degree. only certain models of this camera support a flash and id be very keen to get my hands on one and see how that combats the night and shade.

its a great little plastic, oh how i love you Lomogrpahy, camera and is super fun for sunny days out. its just really fun to use because the view finder is not accurate at all and you are never sure what you are going to get. my advice for this camera is shoot from the hip, move as much as you can and make sure its super sunny out!
