Snap Happy

Tis' the season to turn that frown upside down. The winter blues had us whining about the British weather like an attention seeking broken record. However as the Sun blesses us daily with its tender rays, the frown lines we developed sigh with relief, as we exhale the bitterness away.

Thanks to Lomography's revival of the toy camera we can capture those golden moments of happiness in an instant - just like your average digital camera. Right? But there's more.

Can you feel your fingers shaking as you hold that all too familiar envelope. Can you feel the corners of your mouth curl up as you lay eyes on the first picture? Can you feel what you felt the day those pictures were taken.

This anticipatory excitement and unpredictability that is akin to the toy camera will have you addictively experimenting with each shot, whilst creating some wonderfully uncanny pictures. Perfect for your photo wall of 'Summer 2011'.

These colourful beauties should be the only things hanging from your neck this Summer, as the selection - worthy of a pick n mix - is full of delectable treats. Finding the right one never seemed so hard.

Unleash your inner bullfighter with the Diana F+ El Toro, with it's fearless black horns set against a defiant red back drop, you will be commanding the shots everywhere you go. Maybe the Diana F+ CMYK is better suited to your wild personality, with its bold colour blocked features.

Or are you a shy night owl with a secret? In that case the Diana F+ Glow in the Dark is the one for you. Take nighttime pictures with friends with the added bonus of seeing it come to life in your hands.

If you are more of the active type then the Action Sampler is for you, this blocky, lightweight camera snaps up a series of four images on one 35mm print & a macro-movie, creating movement in just four shots.
