Holga UP!, Pam Bergstrom

{Holga Take 1 | Blam} Here She Blows

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s my first attempt from Miz Holga.  My biggest question at this point is if the black corners are a user error or Holga quirk.  Any thoughts ladies?

Welcome and hello from Jacksonville Beach, Florida! I'm Pam. The Blam. I'm a recent import to North Florida from the lovely land of Washington State by way of the Florida Keys. I grew up in a cozy boating town better known as Annapolis, Maryland and try not to venture too far from the coast, if that's not already abundantly obvious. Luckily, I married a Schooner Sailboat Captain.  We've got three hilarious, water-loving kiddos and one sweet, water-despising pup.  My journey with photography has taken me from a 365 project, to momentary portrait photographer, to a career in light chasing and pushing my photography

    LOOOVVVEEEE these Blam! The black corners are called vingetting. It happens on all lenses even our eyes (correct by the brain or better lenses). It occurs a lot in Holgas It’s essentially a “flaw” of the cheap plastic lens. However, one of the reasons that Holgas have become so popular is the distinct art pieces, that are produced.

    Wow! I can’t choose a favorite! Love the blossoms and the tall trees/outbuilding best! The corners are the Holga, I believe. Plastic camera can’t hold all the light out that it should, so it seeps in and overexposes. I hear that ‘taping’ (with black electrical tape) ones Holga can help if it is unwanted, but I think most prefer the cool effect.

      Thanks JJ! I like the effect too, but I didn’t want to look like a rookie 🙂
