Homeless Holga: Formerly "Anyone fancy trying something daft ???" - Page 5

I missed the point of this the 1st time I read it

I'd like to go on the 'reserve' / 'next time' list please, if that would be OK ?

Tricky69 · 09-07-2011, 10:40

I have a roll of Ilford Delta 3200, if you wanted to get even more extreme !

TheBigYin · 11-07-2011, 15:54 **Thread Starter**

We're right enough on film Rich, and TBH with the holgas shutter speed and aperture, unless you were shooting in a cellar, at night, 3200 would be a waste

Anyway - how's it going Alan... is it in the post, or are you still trying to lasoo a sheep to send it special delivery ?

Alan Clogwyn · 11-07-2011, 16:24

It'll be in the post tomorrow, Managed to get everything done today so will wrap it back up and lick the stamp tonight

SarahLee · 11-07-2011, 19:42

I can't believe how much I'm looking forward to seeing the results of this, and I haven't even had my go yet.
How sad is that?

you can buy a holga on eBay for about 20 quid if you cant wait

But then I'd have to learn all about processing - which frankly is downright scary!!!

TBH it's the results of the double exposures that I really want to see.
Hopefully there'll be some really interesting outcomes with nobody else knowing what the second half of the image is.

big soft moose · 11-07-2011, 20:12

I found a quite interesting Holga pinhole wide angle on eBay as well - about 15 quid. breifly thought about getting it for another travelling thread then realised that D&P would be the problem

TheBigYin · 11-07-2011, 21:17 **Thread Starter**

those holga pinhole wide angles are great cameras... The 6x12 mask suffers a bit with light fall-off at the corners, but the 6x9 is cool!

cool - I might get one - theres one way to use up all the out of date film

welcome to the world of pointing the camera vaguely at the subect, pressing the cable release and counting elephants

medwaygreen · 14-07-2011, 07:58

The Holga has landed

and I start my Holiday tomorrow so I will be looking for some interesting places to shot, I guess Mark will send me Bill's address in Guildford for me to send to when my assignment is finished.

Alan, can I assume that shot number 8 was landscape as that is the lens icon that it was left on or are you using subterfuge.

I am looking forward to this a will ship on ASAP.

Richard.

TheBigYin · 14-07-2011, 09:39 **Thread Starter**

Bills Address should be in your PM Box, Richard.

As I said above, if you want to know what the last shot was - PM the previous person. Don't let on in open forum, it'll spoil the surprise for everyone.

rhody · 15-07-2011, 07:07

This is just like being a kid again waiting for Christmas.

I'm really looking forward to my turn with the Holga - great idea and great thread - inspirational in fact.

TheBigYin · 15-07-2011, 07:26 **Thread Starter**

Wish I could claim it as my own Idea, but there have been a couple of "Traveling Camera" threads iirc.

Travelling Clack (didn't end well I'm afraid

)

Original Travelling Lubitel

Travelling Lubitel 2 - The Sequel

I've just added my own twist with the silly double exposure bit and thrown a bunch of film and processing into the mix

rhody · 15-07-2011, 10:53

It's a great twist - the double exposure will be great fun - all credit to you for arranging everything

dubnut71 · 17-07-2011, 17:03

Can't wait for it to arrive!!! those shots above have given me some exciting ideas too!

medwaygreen · 18-07-2011, 14:34

OK I have been out and taken my shots and left the camera on frame 11 ready for the double exposure, I will be sending to Bill in Guildford tomorrow, Good luck.

puggie · 18-07-2011, 15:53

look forward to receiving it. any change you could PM me an indication of what your half of the double exposure might be

TheBigYin · 18-07-2011, 15:58 **Thread Starter**

Bill - is my address still visible on the packaging, or should I PM you my address for returning the film?

Don't suppose anyone's had a whip-round so that the film-change people don't get stiffed with 2 sets of postage?? Didn't think so

Have you decided what the second roll's gonna be ? Colour or B&W ??

menthel · 18-07-2011, 17:12

How exciting! First film nearly done!

puggie · 18-07-2011, 18:08

no idea yet, I'll see what I shoot, maybe that will make my decision for me

did you supply all the film or shall I pull a roll out of the freezer in the morning?

Bill, Mark,s address is still on the side of the box as the return address.

There should be 4 rolls of film in the box - iirc 2 B&W's and 2 colour - I'd guess it'll be driven by the conditions you're shooting in too - iirc, the only 400 is a roll of HP5+

I'm getting childishly excited now - getting close to the first film coming back to me

I'm all geared up for it too... fresh packet of 120 sleeves just dropped through the postbox, ready for when the film's scanned.

puggie · 21-07-2011, 08:24

I have da holga!!

will get some pics over the weekend and then move it on

TheBigYin · 21-07-2011, 09:15 **Thread Starter**

Great stuff Bill - Have fun with it, and keep us posted with what film you swap to.

Hopefully the gaffa tape should be okay to reseal after swapping films. If not, it'd be better if you can re-tape it before shipping to Scott. It's not so much there to cope with light leaks, more to prevent the back coming off the camera and ruining the film when the parcel handlers use the box for a lunchtime game of football

ped · 22-07-2011, 22:30

Have I been leapfrogged or is there a new order?

TheBigYin · 22-07-2011, 22:42 **Thread Starter**

Running Order came out as below Ped, I had to re-jig the original signup to ensure that the film changeover people had worked with 120 cameras before, and also to try and keep locations nice and random

dubnut71 · 22-07-2011, 23:30

Nice one, cant wait for it to arrive!!!
