Introducing… Jose Manuel Madrona

Hello all. My name is Jose. I live in Ruzafa’s district in Valencia. Spain. I love the photography,  I adore  film. I rediscovered the photography approximately 5 years ago.

Introducing…Mathias

Hi, I’m Mathias, and I love medium format film. There, I said it. Sure, I love other film too, but there’s just nothing like holding up a strip of 120 slide film against the light, nothing. I haven’t been shooting film for too long though. Sure, I’ve had film cameras as a kid, but when I »

And in this corner… Kevin

Hi. I’m Kevin. I started with some sort of camera when I was nine. I say “some sort” because I really don’t remember. It was black, that was all I cared about. I also remember it took 110 film. Don’t ask me how I knew. My mittens had to be attached to each other via a »

Hi, I’m Sheena and I *heart* cameras…

Introducing…Megan

Well, I have to say I am neck deep in photography and loving every minute of it.

I started out with an APS point and shoot when I was younger (ah, the good old Kodak Advantix), never really delving too deep because I soon learned that film wasn’t cheap (neither was developing) and if I took »

Introducing…Arneee

Hi folks, I’m Arneee and I am also photo addict. Most probably you should associate me with this image (No more jumps by arneee ), as seen in this holgablog.com post.

The little Apple at my Flickr username shows my favourite fruit (joke) and platform I mostly work on (not a joke). My intro comes late due to »

Fun in the Sun-Printing

Some time late last year (OK, Christmas), I got a present called “Sun-Print Paper”. This stuff is basically sold as a “toy” to parents who probably want their kids to get off their console, get out the house, and take in some Sunshine or else.

How to make Cog-Pano’s on your Holga

First things first. The image above was shot on my Holga, and I only manipulated digitally by way of turning it black & white and adding my copyright symbol. Otherwise, this is shown exactly as it was shot, with the image stretching its way across the film plain in a nice wide panoramic and covering [...]
