Blue Shorts & Light Streaks



Another shot where I hover the Holga lens in front of the K10D open mount. It's not easy to focus as the lens isn't actually attached to the body but far from difficult. The light leaks were an added bonus and really brings out the Holga type effect, although I added the vignette in post.

Alien Light


Holga Lens : ISO - 400 : Shutter - 1/750

This image was shot through two lenses, the Auto Tamron was attached to the K10D and held a detached Holga lens in front of it. The image itself looks pretty holgerish with the out of focus elements and saturation levels, although I did do a little tweaking to the contrast.

UPDATE: Sorry to post false information but when I shot this I was experimenting a lot and didn't write any notes. This image was shot through a Holga lens but not in front of the Tamron. Actually, the K10D had no lens attached and I just hovered the Holga lens in front of the mount until it focused. I'll post some more photos with this method soon.

Photographic journey #1: The Holga

It was back in July or August '06 that I first got re-interested in photography when I purchased a Holga 120 CFN through a shop that sells lomographic gear imported by Superheadz in Japan. All these stores have a corner with all this cool lomo stuff and I just felt like spending some money. Back in Uni when I was studying Visual Arts, I did take some photography class doing B&W with an old SLR but at that time, I was more interested in digital photography and photo manipulation so didn't really get into it. So, I have my Holga and some 120 film and away I went.

Here's some example shots while experimenting with this medium format, plastic toy camera.
