25 Brave Adventures Taken on by Lomographers

11

There is a well-known saying: "It's not about the destination; it's about the journey." Although we do agree on this matter, sometimes it truly is about both of these things. Over the years, we have been writing about many beautiful destinations, and we have pictures to prove it. As we celebrate Lomography's 25th anniversary, we want to highlight all those adventures which inspired us the most and took us to breathtaking places. Some may surprise you and allow you to learn something new about them; others may motivate you to go on a road trip yourself. Either way, sit back and let us be your tour guide.

1. From the Arctic to Antarctica by stouf

Stéphane T., better known as @stouf in the Lomography community, joined a team of researchers specializing in zooplankton study to navigate the frigid Arctic and Antarctic waters by breaking through ice.

2. Chernobyl by wil6ka

Herr Willie (@wil6ka) has been to many different places around the world. He paid a visit to Chernobyl, which he described as a "testament for the fragility of humankind."

3. The Sahara Desert by lomonina

@Lomonina is a frequent visitor to the Sahara, and claims that every visit was full of excitement and surprises. Here, we see why!

4. A Trip To Iceland by andrejrusskovskij

On a week-long trip to Iceland, Andrea Russo (@andrejrusskovskij) witnessed a majestic sunset and his first view of the Northern Lights. Bucket-list worthy, we must say!

5. South Island of New Zealand by Dawn Chapman

If you're a nature lover (which means all of us, right?) then an escape to this gallery featuring immaculate areas of Te Waipounamu by Dawn Chapman is surely worth a peek.

6. Siberian Adventures by wil6ka

Another gem from @wil6ka, who answered a call to a distant and mystic land, to bring us a look into Siberian culture.

7. Ouagadougou by vicuna

@Vicuna (accompanied by his travel buddy @wil6ka) captured the sounds and sights of this energetic African city.

8. Exploring Tibet by lawypop

The mysterious and untainted Tibet, with its beautiful mountain ranges and scenery, required some permits for a visit. Luckily, @lawypop and friends were able to secure them and came back with these awesome photos.

9. Mount Papandayan by shufi

@shufi bravely trekked one of the 127 active volcanoes in Indonesia and documented the natural beauty of Mount Papandayan with her friends.

10. Solo Roadtrip To South Africa by twenty-haitch

Here's a truly memorable brave adventure: @twenty-haitch fulfilled a life-long wish of travelling around his home country of South Africa while living in a camper van.

11. The Other Side of Seoul - Yongma Land, Abandoned Park by singleelderly

While Seoul is a shiny modern city in Korea, @singleelderly could not help but wonder if there were abandoned places to take pictures of? He found his answers in Yongma Land, an abandoned park popular among cosplayers, photographers, and music video makers.

12. June in Peru by sallycanela

For @sallycanela, Machu Picchu is the place that she always pictures in her head when dream destinations come to mind. Together with her boyfriend, they embarked on a two- and-a-half week trip to Peru, armed with her Nikon FE loaded with Kodak Ektar film.

13. The Dieng Plateau by specialblewah

@specialblewah trekked to this sacred place and captured its breathtaking beauty in sweeping panoramas.

18. An Inspiring Road Trip To The States by lorrainehealy

    @stouf travels to the 2 poles is a an absolute fantastic achieving! You could've included @wil6ka's trip to North Korea, it isn't such an usual travel made by a lot of people... I think he might be the lomographer who traveled the most countries in the world, and I'm happy to have done 2 with him (Burkina & Australia/Tasmania, meeting @stouf! :) ....
