everything's not lost.

Lomography launched a new camera this week: the Lomography Spinner 360° – featuring yours truly in the “manual” :D

It’s a camera that looks like a WWII hand grenade and it will take a 360° pic when you release the cord. The results look pretty impressive and it’s a lot of fun to take pictures with it.

It’s a very wide angle lense so you’re – or at least your hand is – probably going to end up on the photo if you’re not careful when taking a pic. Lomo even provides a set of different techniques that you can try out. My brother and me took a few photos prior to the launch so you can see me in the gallery a few times, especially for technique #3 “Backflip” where you can see me and my dad or me jumping from a rock where you can even see me in the air and me jumping off at the same time, crazy :) Of course, if you’re into feet, you can also try technique #7 “Footloose“.

I’m really thinking about getting one for myself :)

I will keep my bucket list to myself, but recently I crossed a few things of.

including:

[x] meet Malcolm.

(see how tiny he is compared to me? adorable!)

here are a few more pictures, but no sightseeing this time and excluding the trueman.tv pics!

and here are the final pix, i love this one, handheld of course:

but i’m also awesome in being superman, please don’t tell anyone. clark kent is just a decoy. thanks to Susi for taking the following two pictures:

and some more handheld madness:

check out the whole flickr set: Lomo Fisheye Submarine @ Wörthersee

ok, this is part 1 of the fisheye photos, part 2 and the full 20 picture set will follow tomorrow.

this is the one that you’ve already seen, just a bit clearer. still very blury and low quality. but you get the point and I think the pix are great, but doing them was far better and so much fun. had Susi from Germany/Vienna here the last weekend (Couchsurfing) and one day we went to the lake Wörth and shot a whole film with my Fisheye 2 and the Submarine case.

turns out, there is a “too close” even for a fisheye picture. this one lacks a bit of context! i’m actually “high” up in the air after i jumped the springboard and made that move. now you don’t see it very good, but behind me are the people on the footbridge.

this one is not me, unfortunately, but it’s cool either way, because it looks like the guy backflipped over the sun :)
