Photoshop 'LOMO' Effect.

If you're looking for an effect to add character and impact to your images, you should definitely consider trying out Lomography. Lomo was a Russian camera brand, founded in 1914 and famed for its unique effect that gives images taken with Lomo cameras a high contrast, slightly cross-processed look, often accompanied by a dark vignette. Lomo cameras can still be bought today, but the good news for DSLR users is that the Lomo effect can be easily applied to your images via a few simple steps in Photoshop. The effect is perfect for landscapes, urban cityscapes and even portraits. In fact, there aren't many image situation that Lomo can't be applied too.

Here's some examples that I've edited via Photoshop.
