I just got my first shots with the Holga today. Results were fairly decent. I like the square format of the photos but in general the photos look like they could have been taken by any camera. I guess thats a good thing since this camera did cost me only $20. I was hoping to see more weird effects like the picture above if you notice the bottom left area of the picture you can see it blur a bit. Now that I know the camera is working I am going to load it up with some cheap color medium format film and take some more shots. If you would like to see 3 more photos click on more.

nice effects !
i like the second one the most
looks like it could be used in an arabian heritage book 😛
wow, they really look old .. I like them .. great work 🙂
pretty cool!
okay………….what the point !!!!!
I think the color pictures will come out better plus will cost me ALOT less to develop then back and white.
i have a holga too..i shot some transparency film and cross processed it..very funky results..my problem is when i remove the mask to make it shoot a square frame..i am not able to avoid the frames overlapping..so i put in the mask and shoot a 6×4.5 frame..how did you do it?
sid you must have the older Holga 120S. The newer Holga 120N comes with the 6x6cm mask installed as default plus some other new features like bulb mode and 2 apreture settings.
