Lomo

Been toying around the image processing software lately. Scouring the net for some sort of inspiration and one type of effect has caught my fancy - lomography.

It's a photographic look that adds (imho) artistic flare to an image. A somewhat ordinary image like this, which is by the way rendered in 3dsmax mental ray, could be more interesting if given some post-processing magic.

Of course the "lomo look" is not a prefered architectural presentation look. But my curiosity sometimes always gets the better of my never ending itch to scratch. :) Something new to play around, a toy to break. Anyways, these images have been posted at cgpinoy.

This is not for the render "purist". :p 

Now to just pure indulgence.
