with ELITECHROME EB 100; 35mm slide film.

Modded my holga to hold 135film instead of the EXPENSIVE 120mm ones. Getting poorer by the minute with the fun fun fun hobby. I'm watching like a hawk for ppl selling films and slides. Just ordered a Velvia 100, Velvia 50, Lomo x-pro slides. *muahahaha~*And i havent even played with my *rare* B&W film yet!

Simple instructions of loading a 35mm in a 120mm holga; are found here~! *click me!*

Videos to aid in loading the film:
Loading a 120mm film
Loading a 135mm film into a holga

And my colourflash is super fun can!! I'm taking shots of twinkle with different flashes. ha~ Since i mod my cam, there's no film counter for me. Have to count the no of clicks for each turn. Have to use this chart to help BUT i anyhow wind lah; guess i would have wasted quite a lot of film. :p And i keep forgetting if i wound my film or nt? Guess i'll have a lot of double exposures for this one. Hopefully my test-roll will turn out fine.. *fingers crossed*

Holga Holga FUN!

=======================================

The Holga is IT! For just $16.99 (not SGD ah.. i'm paying more than dat!) you get yourself a plastic camera which will truly allow you to finally break free of the correctness in photography. This innocent looking toy might actually be the best choice for street photography: there are no settings to hassle with, no focus or f-stop, so it’s easier to shoot on the move and keep up with the fast pace of the streets. And maybe its best trait is that the Holga just doesn’t look like a real camera, definitely not a serious one, so people just tend to ignore it and go about their business. (Doesn’t this camera remind you of these toy cameras which spray water on the unsuspected victim?)

One of the cool things about the Holga is that you can try all kinds of weird ‘tricks’ and since there isn’t really a correct way of using a Holga, anything goes… for example, you can advance the film between exposures only half way to purposely get a two in one image, or at least claiming you did… And of course the Holga’s most recognized feature – the double exposure although most double exposures done with a Holga are accidental; The Holga does not automatically advance to the next picture and as a result the double exposure is just bound to happen every so often.

Another fun thing to try with a Holga is making panorama images. Unlike panoramas taken with other cameras, with a Holga there’s no need to stitch the images together on the PC, the whole stitching thing is done directly on the negative. And it’s a Holga! Meaning the panorama doesn’t have to be perfect, actually probably better that it isn’t :)

And finally one tricky thing about the Holga is shooting at night. See, since the Holga doesn’t have a light meter or a real shutter speed and F stop settings you find yourself at the mercy of your film’s speed. (Which by the way is 120 film) (just another bonus!) The new Holga has the most advanced feature; the B exposure. Sounds great, no? However, the way it really works is that you need to press the shutter release button for as long as you want your exposure to be. Not to mention the pain and suffering your poor finger must go through, it is also impossible to hold your breath or keep steady for too long and even if you rest your camera on something, there will still be that horrible camera shake (the ugly cousin of the attractive motion blur).

This is where your choice of film can help you. If you don’t mind long exposures go for the 400ASA film and expose your film in the average lit area for about 30-40 seconds! 800ASA will allow you to cut down your exposure time to a good 10-15 seconds. But at last you will see the light when you use 3200 ASA which tolerates an exposure of somewhere between 1-3 seconds. Yippee!

MUAHAHAHA~ the things i can do with my HOLGA!!!! I wanna try it ALL!~ :D

Labels: holga, shopping loots

120mm MF processing: $5.00/roll
scanning per frame @ $0.60 @ 4base. $1.50 for 16base.
printing 4R @ $0.50/pc.

Meaning if i have 16 shots on my MF; Total cost of processing + scanning into CD would be;
5 + (16x0.60) = $14.60

That's a whole lot of $$ of just 16 pictures; not including printing.

VS

35mm processing + scanning: $6.50/roll [24 / 36 pictures]

The above not including the cost of the negative film..
120mm ~ 5-7bucks
35mm ~ 4-6bucks

Cost of slide films are definitely more den that.

Holga is an expensive hobby. haiz... but i wanna play with MF leh..........
