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
ReplyDeleteThanks, pal.
DeleteI love the texture in these pictures, so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I like it, too.
DeleteI love your Holga pictures, Ally. It's a toss-up between the first and the last one for my favourite! xxx
ReplyDeleteI feel like I am in an episode of classic Doctor Who- the rouuuuuuuuuuuuuuund things are BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! They're going to take us!!! (I like those ones best!)
ReplyDeleteI know -- they're so sci-fi looking!
DeleteThey're all great pics, but the first one is definitely wall hanging worthy.
ReplyDelete(I feel like i should rename my car Holga - "barely functional!" Lol)
Great reflection capture on the last image.
Thanks. Sorry 'bout your car.
DeleteI love your photo entries! Moody, interesting, and cool. :)

Thanks. That's me -- moody, interesting and cool. :)
DeleteI love seeing your creativity coming through your pictures. Love black and white photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks, pal. Me, too.
DeleteThe top one is my favourite, just because I like the pattern repetition and the sinuous shape. These are gorgeous pictures, Ally!
ReplyDeletePS - Thank you for the Hallowe'en card! It brought a smile to my face!
Thank you!
DeleteI also like the first one best. The round shapes in rows look like alien eggs. Kind of ominous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback. Everyone agrees -- No. 1!
DeleteGreat shots! I've always fancied picking up a Lomography camera and having a go.
ReplyDeleteThanks. You should!
DeleteI love these artistic BW photos. It is great you're up to the challenge of working with a low quality cam like Holga.
ReplyDeleteThey're all awesome but the third one is my favorite. I like the repeated reflections!
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
