    first Holga shot

    I apparently taped off ALL light leaks and had some considerable trouble with double exposures but hey live a little learn a little...here's one of the one's I liked and I have another roll in camera as we speak

    and the best new... I found a camera shop locally and the owner customzes his cameras and was really encouraging...and he knew what he was doing woo hoo!

    is there an official pin????

    I don't process my own stuff (yet) but Lar has mentioned that if I want to start up with using BW film again he would rather "invest" into getting chemicals and stuff to do so... I'm excited...

    half the problem is that it's too simple...and I always try to make everything more complicated than it needs to be... so I was glad that anything-something turned out.... thnaks for the boost

    That's the thing about Holga's Nat, they are simple.
    You have to put some thought into your process, especially if you are doing multiple exposures...
    Above all, Holga's are fun! So have Fun and create some great photographs!

    The Beauty Of this Camera

    With a Holga you can get very pleasant surprises. This is a great picture showing both of your children and the cute surprises that comes from the Holga.
