Holga By Richard

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to borrow a Holga from my lab.  It was kinda freeing to take pictures without worrying about the technical aspects.  The Holga has only 2 apertures (f8 and f11) and 1 shutter speed (1/100 second).  The focus is adjustable, but only as a guess.  It can shoot 6x4.5 or 6x6 on 120 film.  The think that makes the Holga beloved/maligned is the light leaks.  I even went so far as to tape up the camera and still got light leaks!  I don't know if I'll buy one (it is only $50), but we'll see.


I didn't get to use it as much as I would have liked, but here are a few of my favorites from Fort Walton Beach before the oil arrived.  









Tech Notes:
Holga 120N camera.  Black and white is Fuji Neopan 400.  Color is Fuji Provia 100F that was cross processed.  Everything processed and scanned by Richard Photo Lab.
