Is anyone at all interested in holga stuff? I'd totally try and give out some pointers and what not. It's an art in its self just to get the camera to take a picture the way you want.

"After some careful loading and hearty shooting, we quickly and forcefully fell deep into infatuation. Okay, maybe it wasn't that quick. Certainly, we cursed and swore like Alabama truck drivers when we first tried to load the damn thing. And, we all shared that nervous feeling of "Is it actually working or not?" when we first used it. Truth be told, the Holga is not an easy camera to get used to, and it can be a real pain in the ass.

The infatuation came later, when we received our images back from the photo lab.

They were breathtaking in every sense of the word. Every picture displayed an other-worldly presence, with soft-focus tones, misty colors, and streaming lights. The ugly duckling matures into a radiant swan. Surely a clichéd story, but in the Holga's case, the folk tale is 100% true."

I want to get one, I really like the effect they have, and to try film but I need a job first.

NICE! the thing about mine is that it tends to not distort very much. I barely even have it taped up. It's good for traditional stuff but i'd like that random factor everynow and then.

...maybe i'll kick it around a bit.

what kind of film were you using there?

those aren't light leaks. they're flash burn from the flash mike is holding. i was using provia 100 i think? i wasnt too happy with the results i got from that film.

heres another from the same roll:

so if you get it cross processed, do you just scan the film? but yea i know those aren't light leaks, i'm just saying the one i have doesn't do flares or anything, even if i'm pointing it in to the sun.
