First Holga Shots

[Rob MacKillop]

Only six out of ten turned out, and even they needed some treatment from Auld Nik to get anything remotely shareable...and these are just on the edge of that...

Sorry about that last one!

 

[Paul Lange]

You were obviously shaking with excitement Rob. The last two fit in nicely with you bleak theme you have going at the moment, shame about the ghost dog though although it is quite comical.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I can't remember, but I think the first two, and definitely the last, are double exposures - well, you've got to try it sometime! Now I've got that out of my system...

The third one's not bad for a £20 camera.

I forgot to mention the film - Fuji 400H 120.

 

[David Jones]

I really like the third one. It seem to suit static subjects but you have caught the gull successfully.

 

[Brian Moore]

2, 3 and 4 are great!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You like 4???

 

[Brian Moore]

I do! If that were my dug I'd love tae have that fotie!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

In the eye of he beholder, indeed Don't know whose dog it was/is.

 

[Pete Askew]

Do you even remember taking a picture of a dog?!

Not a bad crop at all Rob. Number 3 is a superb Holga landscape I think and I really like the second shot with the muted colour and movement.

 

[Ahmad Bhai]

Desolate is num 3.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

#3 and ghost dog for me Rob

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh well, I give in Ghost Dog it is

 

[David Mitchell]

I like 3 and 4, I like how easy (or annoying) it is to get a double exposure on the Holga, have you actually managed to find a Holga with a sharp lens? lol they do look good though

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You can get a Holga with a glass lens, but where's the fun in that?!

[Rob MacKillop]

You guys are nuts. Although, to be honest, I'm beginning to quite like it too!

Indeed, or you can buy the 'hipster' edition Holga which is £50, or the 3D version for only £90.......how much was yours?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

£20

 

[Pete Askew]

And it came with a free dog!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I think I'll call it K9...
