If you’ve read my posts in the past, you know I have an appreciation for “toy camera” photography. I’ve seriously considered buying a Holga or a Lomo camera in the past, but I couldn’t really justify buying that and purchasing and developing the film.
However, I found a way to perhaps get the best of both worlds!
I bought a set of Holga lenses for my Nikon digital cameras. Sort of bizarre to be dumbing down these really expensive cameras, but I do love Holga photography. I haven't had more than a minute to play yet, but I shot a quick photo outside the door. Hard to see through the viewfinder as it is so dark, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
I bought the Holga lenses here (the kitchen sink option): http://shop.holgadirect.com/collections/digital-ho
I wasn't sure I much liked this first image, but then I remembered that a lot of Holga photography is cross processed. A couple of quick steps in Lightroom and I like the end result a lot better.
Here they are side by side. The cross processed photo is on the right.
Hope to share more in the coming weeks!
