LC-A versus LC-A+
After shooting several rolls of film through my LOMO LC-A, I wanted to compare it to my trusty ’91 LOMO LC-A.
Appearance?
The two cameras are almost identical. The LC-A+ is missing the diaphragm setting, used to override the aperture and shutter settings for flash use. I don’t miss this much, as most of my photos are taken with available light. Over the years, I’ve bumped the diaphragm setting on my LC-A and ruined a batch of shots in daylight.
The LC-A+ has a threaded shutter release to accept a remote cable release.
The LC-A+ is missing framelines and focus icons in the viewfinder. Not a huge difference, but I do miss them when trying to compose a shot. If you follow the 10 rules of Lomography, this won’t be an issue.
Finish? The LC-A feels like a little tank. The LC-A+ feels a bit lighter, and the back flexes a tiny bit, but the difference is negligible.
Speed settings? The LC-A + supports 800 speed film.
Lens? Can’t tell the difference
Feel? LC-A+ feels better – smoother film advance, smoother shutter release. FIlm window is a huge plus.

A solution for “Unidentified Networks” in VMWare under Windows
VMWare under Windows 7 and later create 2 network drivers — one for bridged networking and one for NAT. Windows can’t determine the workgroup state of these adapters, and refers to them as “unidentified network” when you hover over the network icon. There’s a simple registry hack to fix this:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Click the follwoing subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlClass{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
3. Browse through the 00xx subkeys until you find the REG_SZ VMNet subkey with a value of either “DosDevicesVMnet8†or “DosDevicesVMnet1†(default values)
4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type *NdisDeviceType, and then press Enter.
6. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
7. Type 1, and then click OK.
8. Exit Registry Editor. 9 Disable & re-enable the VMWare NICs
9. Log-out of your Windows account and log back in.
10. Done.

New test
I started poking around the menus on my Elph 100 HS, and noticed that it’s got a “Toy Camera” mode – looks like it vignettes the shot. I’m torn – there’s a lot more flexibility with an iPhone and the dozens of applications available for it, but sometimes you can’t beat 12 megapixels, 3200 ISO, a decent flash and HD video. And a f/2.8 lens. And a shutter BUTTON.

Beams. SOMA, San Francisco.
With all of the construction around the new Transbay Terminal in San Francisco, the area where I work is turning into a virtual goldmine of construction stuff.

June 11th Instawalk in San Francisco’s Chinatown
An Instawalk is an Instagram themed photo walk. Users are encouraged to shoot, process, and upload their photos as the walk is happening. If you haven’t done one yet, I highly recommend it. It’s a bizarre experience to be seeing what your fellow photographers are seeing as the walk is happening.
