For the longest time I have been curious about photographing with film and more specifically I have been curious with photographing with a Holga camera. The Holga is an imperfect camera which takes imperfect photographs. But that i the charm of the camera.
Well, I bought one and then for Christmas I received one as a gift – so I now have 2! And here is the first photograph from the camera. It really is everything I was hoping for.
Winter snow with a holga
You can see a bit of a vignette around the photograph. The edges are also a bit smudgy and blurred. I did learn that it doesn’t work very well indoors. I had tried using a flash attached to the camera’s hotshoe and the photos were still dark. But for shooting outdoors it is great.
And since I have 2 Holga cameras I use one for black and white and one for color. I haven’t shot a whole roll of color film on a Holga yet but I think this week will be perfect to do so. And I want to try this on some people.
