Now onto the sharing! I took a day of shooting the Holga 60mm with the wide angle. My goal was to practice & learn-I did! After lugging tripod and thinking 'wish I didn't have to carry this everywhere', words I read from this blog were going around in my mind "I set iso 1600-3200 to help with camera shake" Ohhhhh-I'm trying it! Yes! it works, woohoo! So spent first half of time shooting with tripod & the 2nd half hand held, experimented with different iso settings according to the available light and in camera sharpness(adjustable within camera). I'm sooooo enjoying this! Shot colored & in-camera monochrome (b&w's). I put BW's here & will get back to colors in a bit. Everyone, have a great & blessed day!
Well, I sat down yesterday for 1-1 1/2 hrs writing, checking, editing, a new blog about the day of using this fun lens. I attempted to do a poll and before I knew it, I mistakenly deleted it - recapturing those words, the mood~gone! Felt it was one the best done so far, :(. Now that I got that off my chest, It's okay- C/P into an editor! Lesson learned! Here's my smiley face- :) .

I just happened to win an Ultimate Holga Kit by making a comment on 'When is a Holga not a Holga?' on DPS-thats short for Digital Photography School, a review made by Sime who seems to be a pretty cool guy with a pretty good article reviewing the Holga lens made for digital. YaY~now I can do it direct on camera without the film & processing...Nothing wrong with film, I think film is pretty awesome but digital is a personal preference. I've enjoyed the film type photography of lomo & holga since I took interest in (digital) photography~from casual experience of using film I was sometimes quite disappointed.
Anyways~the day arrives, I somehow missed the mailman and had 10 minutes to run to the PO to get my package I'm not waiting til morning, :). I sat there in the lot using keys to make a line down the center and edges of box, felt like a photography fiend, waiting to get a fix, I just HAD to get that on the camera, ahhhh, now to try it! Uh OH, I remember the winning comment, I said the 1st thing I would photograph with that lens is an old/historic blg. Now Im feeling guilty....Okay may not be impressive photography, nor did I get it right off, The first shot was the Masonic Temple next to the PO. It use to be a church. Old? not sure how old. Then theres a building opposite side that was born late 1800's which is now an Antique Store, All I got was a portion of the stuff outside. Heck, none of them turned out well. So...okay I'll post in this blog best ones as I'm learning how to make a satisfactory holga pic and post the really not so good 1st shots in an update. I will be having a Holga page soon. Thank you kindly for staying long enough to see....:) |
