The best way to spend the summer is by finding an activity that you truly love. However, summer can become tedious and the hours will seem to drag by if you do not use time wisely. Why not take on a new hobby this summer?

• Lomography: Lomography is another word for analogue photography, i.e, photography using film. Even though it is much faster and cheaper to simply take pictures with a digital camera or with a phone, the feeling of being able to have a physical medium to work with is irreplaceable. When one learns how film works and how to achieve stunning effects with it, Lomography becomes a very interesting hobby. Using film gives photos “vintage” look, which cannot be replicated by an Instagram filter. The Lomography website not only sells analogue cameras and film but also has extensive guides on film photography that come handy.Click here!
