Holga in the City.

February 19, 2010

Round #2 of shooting with a Holga, this time in Downtown Cincinnati.  Last round I wanted to make sure I got some shots so I taped everything and used the insert that came with it.  This time I took more risks so I removed the insert to get the random hard vignettes in the corner.  I also untaped most of it to see if I could get some cool light leaks.  And I went for some more dramatic light situations.  The results were better but I did end up losing 5 of the 12 shots in the process.  It’s kind of weird because it seems I might have one of the few well-made Holgas out there because there weren’t too many crazy things that happened.

I love the juxtaposition of of old and new here.

Went for a portrait of a parking lot attendant but as you can see the light inside the booth was not good. The sun flare is pretty cool looking though:)

Held the shutter open a few moments here to get the ice skaters’ motion. Not sure if it translates but the washed out look is super hip.
