Say Holga!

I have obtained one of these from the glorious internet, in a delightful shade of sky blue!

holga 120 GCFN_blue
BlockquoteIt is a Holga - a medium format toy camera that can produce unpredictable vintagey effects, you never know what you're going to get. It takes 120 film and has a plastic lens for a softer look. My version also has a flash and a blue/yellow/red/white diffuser. I'm excited to have a play and welcome le printemps with some flashes of colour!

  2. thanks, cats are the cutest animals to photograph (:

    oh wow. nice color.
    i always wanted a holga, but the films are very expensive aren't they?
    a friend of mine has one and he rarely takes pictures with it, because of the price.

  8. Lomography!!! :) You're the first person on Blogger that I've found who likes it! I've been wanting to delve into it and I already have my camera of choice yet I haven't found the time to sit and ponder on whether or not I'll invest well in the hobby.

    It's such an art that I don't want it to go to waste. Lovely! :) The Meg Diana package is dreamy!
