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 »
To celebrate release of the Diana Mini and it’s half-framey-ness we thought we’d delve into the Flickr vaults to bring you 20 of the best half-frame diptychs. In this digital age it’s easy to place two photos alongside each other, but with a half frame, or indeed any film camera, more thought must »
Not your mother’s brew. It didn’t take me long to decide to convert you all to developing with coffee! I know what you may be thinking – ok that’s a lie – but suppose I can imagine it’s something along the lines of, “Huh?” …And finally, the highlight of it all: the end result with your negatives stained a lovely sepia tone.
When I originally came up with the concept of the Derek’s Rant column (is that what you call a post on a blog?) I intended it to be thought provoking. A prevailing trend I see in society is that we are becoming more sheepish. Even eccentric individuals aren’t as eccentric or individual as they used »

i’m starting this out with a disclaimer: i am very new at this whole film thing and this is by no means the ideal way to develop film. it’s simply an explanation of how i do it, and perhaps can serve as a rough guide of how to get started from zero. that said, if »
i really don’t know how i got started into photography. perhaps it was my dad, or perhaps it was because i was already into capturing images through videography. i used on an old rca vhs camera that i toted around during high school. what a nerd. but damn, i took some mighty fine video on family vacations. in »
I want to get this out of the way first: I don’t own a Holga. I’ve only used one once, and it had the 645 mask in, so it wasn’t really one. I hated the idea of the Holga until recently. Please don’t hate me. I started in photography as a little tyke, with a Ricoh point-and-shoot. »

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 [...]
