Through a Plastic Lens (Holga shots)
Here are my first shots with the Holga toy camera (a plastic toy developed in HK in 1982 !). It can produce pictures with a very special moody feel, but it is not so easy to use. It has only 2 apertures, 8 and 11, so there is actually little control over exposure. No in-camera light meter, so everything is just guesswork. 'Don't think, just shoot' and hope the pictures will turn out right. Most of my slides and negatives came back either over or under-exposed, only some of them were salvageble using Photoshop Elements. (120 slides and negatives are so expensive !)
