Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 01 10:53 pm)
The problem I see with this is that even though the Holga is a testiment to cheap plastic crapiness, it still uses standard film. Which means that while the image may be fuzzy, blurry, light streaked and whatever it still retains a great deal of information on the negative. With a crappy digital camera, you get crappy optics but also, usually, very low resolution. This doesn't equate to the smooth, blurry artsy shots you can get from a Holga. It just looks like you took a picture with a webcam. I'd probably try to go for a reasonably inexpensive camera and either edit the photos in photoshop or place things across the lens. Like taking a UV filter and smearing a thin layer of vaseline across the outer surface. Might work. -=>Donald
Have a Woca here.... I've been using BW and developing myself. The only problem I've come against is having to buy an adaptor and neg carriers for the enlarger I have at home. Haven't tried shooting color 120, but I'm assuming that any photolab (not the local drug store) should be able to develop the 120 film. What fun it is, I'm so glad I bought one, and they certainly are cheap enough, but Donalds suggestion sounds like a good one.
I am, therefore I create.......

If you apply vaseline to a UV filter, you'll need to limit the amount ... think dirty glass and then a little more. Another way would be to use a piece of window glass about 1x1 ft. to 2x2 ft. in some sort of adjustable stand and about 1-2 ft from the camera. > Might work. It will work ... keep caeful notes on each setup. MGD
