Must be worth a go, haven't used the Holga for a couple of months, thanks or the heads-up

Yes but you do have to pitch up in Holga threads and bang on and on and on and on about sharpness and hipsters, it's a mandatory legal requirement of the internet

Hey, don't forget the vignetting... it's all about the vignetting! Apparently.

I was intending to shoot the 3 remaining frames on my second Holga trial film this Friday as it's threatening to be dry and bright, so I'll now be looking for suitable subjects to confuse our chums over the pond.

Submit up to three (3) images sized to 3000 pixels on the longest edge using the submission form or email on the form with the following information for each image:

• Artist Name
• Location
• Title of image and file name
• Category:
  • Holga Street
  • Holga Nature
  • Holga Portrait
  • Holga Pinhole
  • Holga Select (Photogs Choice)
• Holga products used to create this photo
• Selfie with Holga camera
  • How else can we determine if you used a Holga?

3000 pixels wide plus a selfie holding the camera? I guess that's me ruled out.

is it the selfie that's an issue? A scan at 1600 DPI on 2 1/4" film is well over 3000px or a neg scanned with a 20M pixel "full frame" sensor camera is of 5000px wide

Not that Chris, it's just that I don't see why they would need a photo that size. World Pinhole Day is 500 pixels I think, while we manage fine on here with 1024, and WPD doesn't need a selfie with your pinhole camera!
