Holga Fisheye in Austin

I recently acquired a fisheye for my Holga 120N from Catherine's grandmother, as a thank you gift for a slideshow I created for their wedding anniversary. As soon as I got it I could not wait to get out and shoot with it. I have seen photo's that Jena has produced with her lil orange fisheye and they are always fun to look at.

That day we ended up going to Austin's Botanical Gardens and I knew it would produce some great photo's with it. Here are the three that were on the roll of film I just developed. I can not wait until I finish the next few pictures on my current roll so I can see the rest.

Day 168 - Holgamill

Well, just about a week worth of Holgas and I am going to go back to my Canon tomorrow. I actually started an internship today, so the time that will be alloted to that is very unknown. The plan is to actually start a month of nothing but self portraits. That will be particularly difficult for me since it is something that I do not do very often.

I hope you have enjoyed the Holga's and if you have any good ideas of what can be done as a self portrait let me know!

Day 165 - Galveston Silhouette

Only 200 days left in this 365 and even though I am not even at the half way point yet, it still seems to be flying by fast.

To continue on with my Holga series, this shot was taken in Galveston while I was riding around with Catherine. For the most part I was just trying to waste the last two shots so I could get it developed, but this shot came out pretty cool. Even though it was a high ISO film, it still wasn't fast enough to capture any color in the trees, but I am always a sucker for a cool silhouette.

Day 163 - Double Exposure

As many might know, the Holga 120N is not known to be a very high quality camera. Getting double exposures is something that is very easy to accomplish with this camera, usually when done on purpose. This photo, however, was not meant to be a double exposure, but due to the way the film is rolled and processed through the camera, light was able to contact the roll multiple times in the same location.

This is one of the biggest reasons I wanted a Holga camera, it can produce some of the best mistakes out there.

Day 162 - Teddy & I

The Holga pictures are finally in!! Yay! Well, to start if off I had to use one taken of myself and Teddy. Most of the photographs came out great and I could not be happier with them. Expect more for the next week or so, since I do have 23 of them total, but I know for sure I wont be showing every last one. That will bore people very quickly, but who knows. I might very well dedicate the whole month of June to my Holga photos, it is my blog and my 365 project!

I would personally like to thank Catherine for her help on this shot and being my human tripod.
