Diptych Fun with the Golden Half

“Never do things by half”, goes the traditional wisdom. Unless you’re stepping into the world of diptychs – in which case, do everything by halves; it’s hard to do things any other way. The Golden Half (GH) by SuperHeadz is one way of doing so.

Review: Diana Mini (Globetrotting edition) Part 1

When Lomography sent us the Diana Mini to review we didn’t want to just produce another standard review from one Holgablog writer, we wanted to build on one of the key strengths of the Mini: the portability, and decided to couple that with one of the strengths of Holgablog : the breadth of writers we have from across the globe.

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 [...]
