Venice, Holga style
Discussion
I know some of you guys have strong feelings about Holgas but I'll share for the benefit of those who don't hate them!
Today I finally completed scanning, rotating, cropping and resizing my Holga 120 scans from my recent Venice holiday. Scan, crop, rotate, repeat - how exciting!
One of the philosophies of taking photographs with a Holga is that you should "shoot from the hip". I embraced this when I was in Venice by doing exactly that, and fired off a number of photos without even looking through the viewfinder.
I love the colour and saturation that these have, some of that is due I think to the fact it's shot with film, although some of it may be down to my scanner as well.
I also like the dreamlike quality you can get with a Holga. This is a clever way of pretending that your out of focus image is supposed to look like that. For these Venetian scenes it works pretty well.
All of these were shot on 5 year out of date Fuji Provia 400. Because the Holga doesn't offer much control over exposure with just two aperture settings available, all have had only slight tweaks to levels to correct any under/over exposure. Enjoy!
