Just wanted to share some of my first ever Holga snapshots! It is so much fun playing with the color gel wheel!! hehe. Anyways, I'm still learning--they are pretty blurry but I keep reading on how to improve so hopefully I can get some super sweet shots soon :)
I'm excited to get some filters and do modifications :) If you have any Holga tips for a newbie I'd love to hear! :)
hugs, Adrienne
glad to see some shots taken with one of these! this is one of the many cameras on my wishlist this year!

i was just thinking of you and your holga this morning... where do you get your holga film developed? are you using the 120 film or 35mm adapter & film? inquiring minds want to know...

I've been playing with Holgas for almost 10 years now. (Wow...can't believe it's been that long). Love 'em! One thing that I find they are wonderful for is Polaroid transfers. Are you familiar with that process? Kind of pricey to get started (there's a special machine involved). But, it's tons of fun, and super easy once you get the hang of it. But, Holga images lend a very nice look to Polaroid transfers. You'll have to shoot E-6 film, though. Google it. Lots of fun! Also, to avoid light leaks, buy some black gaffer's tape from a photo supply store, and tape the back of that sucker up! ;0)

If you are not using 120 film which comes with paper backing, make sure you tape that little hole in the back with black tape to prevent light leak. =)
