Holga’ed!!!
And so, my Holga Lens fitted for the Nikon, came in the post today. How excited I was to open up the small little pack that contained my pink small lens. I had been wanting to try out the “Holga” effect for a while now. Stumbled upon this website that sold Holga camera and lenses online…..what else but at Holga.com! What a nifty little lens it was. All of USD 22.90! And it ships worldwide! How amazing is that!
The small unassuming white box contained a treasure! It’s even QC passed!
How can you not love the pinky pink!
The lens is plastic. I read somewhere that taking pics with the Holga is pretty much a trial and error experience. Suppose that’s part of the fun -it’s unpredictable results. I truly cannot wait to try it out! Meanwhile, had the kids as guinea pigs. Can’t say they’re great shots, but certainly the grain & funny colors add to the overall effect.

It is quite fun actually….just need to better gauge the distance from the subject and shoot. Can’t focus, can’t quite see thro the viewfinder either. So a little trial and error. With some color tweaks in photo edit software, should be able to balance out the shadows slightly. I suppose the fun part is the dark patches and the vignetting

Lol…my colleague tried it and his tip for better pic is to lock max ISO at 1600 and try aperture at f8, 1/60s shutter speed…. With flash. Have fun.

I will have to remember that, thanks.
