My Holga Week Entries

Last week was Holga Week, a time when crazy photographers use cheap, old cameras to take pictures. Did I mention the cameras are completely plastic and barely functional? That's Holga. 

I find the deficiencies of the camera increase the challenge of getting good photos. And I enjoy a challenge.

We're entering our pictures in friendly competition. Here are my submissions. Do any appeal to you?

    I like the first one best with its sinuous dance. You like round things! Well done, they're all great. Xo JJ

    I love your Holga pictures, Ally. It's a toss-up between the first and the last one for my favourite! xxx

    They're all great pics, but the first one is definitely wall hanging worthy.

    (I feel like i should rename my car Holga - "barely functional!" Lol)

    Great reflection capture on the last image.

    The top one is my favourite, just because I like the pattern repetition and the sinuous shape. These are gorgeous pictures, Ally!

    PS - Thank you for the Hallowe'en card! It brought a smile to my face!

    I also like the first one best. The round shapes in rows look like alien eggs. Kind of ominous.

    Great shots! I've always fancied picking up a Lomography camera and having a go.

    I love these artistic BW photos. It is great you're up to the challenge of working with a low quality cam like Holga.

    They're all awesome but the third one is my favorite. I like the repeated reflections!

    These are marvellous, Ally! I especially like the first entry. It instantly struck me as something that might be squarely at home on a martian - or future human - landscape.
