Lomo Blog Competition - aye aye la sardina!

first, what do you think when the first time you look at the picture above? sardine fishes? yes it is. but what will we, lomographers do with them? eat them? nay.. me myself no likey sardine. sell em? ah what for? then.. curious enough to know? HERE WE GO!

few months back then, lomography has just released the very first la sardina. the models are inspired by sardine cans *google em. now it's pattern's turn :P then they released la sardina metal edition. and last but not least, these cute patterned sardine cans were born! yeaaay! :D as a fashion freaky, i like those pattern so much. i can hardly choose which one's my fave. if i could have a chance to own it, i'd choose mobius. cute! looks like lomography loves japan camera edition.

do you know that la sardina has like a super wide lens? it's 22mm! whoaaa *amazed* so you can reach your object in a good way, no? and the good thing to know is, la sardina uses 35mm film which makes us easier to use them, to develop the process, and the film's cheaper! :) and you also can make multiple exposure, and long exposure too!  so here are some photos taken with la sardina.
