Grunge Patterns and Lomo Effect

I took a couple of photos on the way home from Dorset, Ontario this weekend and decided to give them a slightly different feel. I added some grunge patterns and brushes from the terrific Obsidian Dawn website. I also changed the curve levels of the reds in order to give more of a "lomo" effect.

The lomo effect emphasizes more casual, snapshot style photography. Many of the lomo cameras had fisheye lenses and they were all characterized by oversaturated colours and improper exposures. Do I recommend this all the time? No! However, sometimes it can take a dull photograph and give it a unique nostalgic presence.
