Mind Game With The Holga

[Tom Dunne]

You just can't rely on these plastic toys. Accidental double exposure

 

[Pete Askew]

Effective though. I like it.

And, it's not immediately obvious.

 

[Brian Moore]

I agree with Pete, Tom. If you hadn't said it was a double-exposure it would have taken me a little while to work it out. Its ghostly. I like it.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Same here I'd never have known. Very good Tom , nice tones and hues within the colours, some times I just wonder why anyone needs an expensive toy when such delights can be had from a Holga.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

isn't life wonderful!

 

[Tom Dunne]

isn't life wonderful!

For?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Love this! Double exposures can be simply boring or annoying, but every now and then the magic happens, as it has here.

Hmm...a new Theme perhaps?

 

[Pete Askew]

Annoying pictures. Great idea.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, I'm jumping in with another Holga double...Ghost Dog!

I'll refrain from posting my Portrait Of The Artist As A Labrapoodle!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Tom, I keep going back to yours. It's mesmerising! Almost as much as Julian's new avatar

 

[Pete Askew]

That's not annoying! That's good.

 

[Pete Askew]

I have a few that have worked but I think they are in the UK. I'll check the negative files here though.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks everybody for your comments on the Holga
Love Ghost Dog Rob.
Have a few other Holga accidental DE's too, all as a result of forgetting to wind forward. That's Digital for you.

Great suggestion Rob.
Maybe not just Holga Rob as it might exclude some members who may not have Holga.
How about; Pictures Taken With Cameras Costing £50 Or Under or something along those lines. A fun competition maybe. But whatever you think. Would you set it up? as I don't know how to. It could be an interesting theme.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I could set it up, Tom, but I think you should know how, as it's dead easy. Just go to the Forum home page by clicking the big RPF sign at the top of the page. Scroll down to ... hey, wait a minute...you've already done it!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh no you haven't! That was the Through The Window theme, which, I, think, Pete set up for you. So...

Scroll down to Competitions And Themes, and start a thread as usual. It's good to start the thread title with "Theme:...."

 

[Tom Dunne]

I did it Rob! All on my own Don't know why I thought it would be different than creating a standard thread.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You're a big boy now, Tom. Fear nothing!
