My First Ever Holgarama!

[mtbbrian]

I have seen some EXCELLENT panoramas done with none other than a Holga, so I wanted to try it.
So here it is..
It done in the camera, there is no splicing together on the camera. This particular one consists of four frames. As you can imagine it is a little challenging doing it with a Holga, but I think the results are good. Basically what I did, was advance the knob one full turn plus a couple of more clicks. I walked parallel to this building instead of panning.
I did three scenes this morning, this is the most successful of the three. The other two did not overlap much. I think I needed to under wind the advance knob, because by the time I got to the last two frames there was a good 1/4 inch space between the two frames.
Anyway, I presnt to you my first attempt at a "Holgarama".
Please comment. I thought I'd post it here, becuase I am sure most of you probably never thought that a Holga could do something like this.
Thanks as always!

Got some great results there, Brian. They talk (whomever "they" are) about how much care it takes to do a conventional pan shot, and how tricky it can be, but I think these Holga montages take just as much thought and planning sometimes.

Sure it's possibe to just luck out, but I doubt that's the case with your shots. The combination of images has a real nice blend and overall composition to them.

That ain't no accident...

It's refreshing to see this alternative shooting style. Makes me want to go out and try something completely different than what I usually do.

Thanks Steve! That means a lot coming from you.
It was a little planning on my part, which side to start on and the framing from frame to frame.
I have had a little chat with PJ about doing something a little different, I think I was able to convince him.
So Go For It!! I am sure it will recharge your vision!
