First Holga Shots....

[goldcountrymini]

Ok, well here is some shots from the Holga. This is my first roll and the only shots that are useable, note: USEABLE!!! Anyways, worth showing... so when I get something good you can see the progress.









Any tips, suggestions for roll number two?

Holgas are pretty neat little cameras, not bad at all for the first roll! I borrowed one for a month or so a couple years back and put about 5 rolls through it and never really got the hang of it. I don't have a scanner or I'd put up a few of my shots with it.

Looking forward to see your progression with it.

Thanks Tuls... these shots were mostly just for the test roll... I cannot wait to burn a few more rolls through the camera.

You're making me wish I had bought the one I saw a few weeks ago.

When you first see a Holga, you kind of go "Huh?" but when you see the moody images it can produce, you think otherwise.

Anxious to see some more pics. (maybe I'll pick one up before heading out to Chicago for the holidays.)

My girlfriend has some friends who work for this design studio. They did a pretty cool website/contest thing. Check it out.

Launch the Phot04 on the top. Lots of good hints and links and stuff. I'll post my pictures if I ever get around to it.

Thanks for the info. It seems difficult to get the feel of how your images are going to turn out. I felt like I was shooting into the dark. Its almost like taking a picture without looking through the viewfinder... or it seems that way. When the weather gets a little better around here I will burn another roll... its stormy out (Sacramento CA) and I think it will help to have as much available light as possible.

Try using Tri-X and push it. Stormy weather ought to provide for some interesting mood shots.

Thanks for the info. Its been a long time since I shot anything on film and since I have played around in the darkroom. I have been lazy using a cheap lab... I am going to have to put them to the test eh?
