We always thought we had a missing sponsor in Holgablog: we had a camera manufacturer in Holga Inspire ,a seller of camera equipment, film, and accessories in Freestyle Photo, but we didn’t have a sponsor to complete the photo cycle of developing and printing. But fear not! We welcome Photoworks SF on board as another »

In our continuing effort to post up all entries from our holgablog summer compeitition (seems so long ago now!), here’s another cracker by Stéphane, who travelled to Burkino Faso and discovered an amazing country…
Recently I had a bad case of photographers block; nothing around seemed interesting enough to shoot. While on hiatus my makeshift darkroom started becoming a mess, stuff was piled on my table once reserved for printing. My cameras sat loaded with film but otherwise ignored. I had grand visions of capturing the fall colors in all »
There can never be enough online shops that sell toy camera kit. More competition=cheaper prices for you and me! So it is great news to see that our favourite Lo-Fi Photography magazine Lightleaks have launched an online shop, selling all kinds of toy camera goodness. Here’s the lowdown from Mike: Rachel and I (Mike) have been ‘toying’ around »
Our final part to this series is a bit different to normal Holgablog articles. We have been lucky enough to have been granted permission by Pierre Luminet to translate his brilliant in depth reviews and comparisons of some of the most popular TLR’s ever made.
October was a great month for Holga photos, with the last of the Summer sun fading away to great natural light, the great autumn colours and of course…Halloween! Our judging process has changed slightly, we know have the writers pick their three favourite shots from the month, and then compile them. Depending on how busy the »
Yay! Holgablog turned 1 a few weeks ago! We have come a long way in a year, from a small grotty blog to one of the most visited toy camera sites on the net. The site wouldn’t have become what we now see without the contribution of some of the best toy camera writers on the net (or in real life!), so I would personally like to thank them all for their awesome articles over the last year. I would also like to thank you, the readers, for continuing to stick with us, sharing your views, and creating the community we have now.
In part one of this article I included some photography basics. This second part will have more tips on how to make good pictures. Good and better pictures To help you figure out what makes a good picture, the book gives examples of good and better pictures for all sorts of scenarios. What are the subtle elements of »
Welcome to holgablog, a blog about the world of film photography (with a handful of digital thrown in every so often too!).
Flickr Friday!
It’s that time again! TGIF!!
Each week, we will search the Holga Flickr group for photos added during that week and will post a few of our favorites, based on a theme.
Our theme for the week of March 3 – March 10, 2010 is Play.
You know the saying, “All work and no play…” Well, Friday [...]
Holga Wide and Tele Lens test shots
Here are a few test shots I took in my back yard a couple of weeks ago using the new Holga Wide and Tele lenses. For comparison, I stood in the same spot and took them all from the same angle (as best I could!).
I will keep trying out the lenses in some more different [...]
Review: Holga 120 WPC
I was originally going to start this review of the 120 WPC off quite technically – what the WPC stood for, what features it had, what the f-stop was. That kind of thing. Then I realised I’d been sucked into what I actually try to avoid in photography: geekspeak. So while some of the specifics [...]
