    Default Holga "Polga"

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    The Holga camera was designed for 120 roll film (6x4.5cm), but a popular modification was to add a Polaroid back. Here is one I did to emulate that look. Cameras that were modified in this manner were called "Polga" or "Holgaroid". :) I used the "Toycamera Analogcolor" application.

    Kerry, This does look like what I would expect from the inexpensive Holga camera. I like the slightly curled, wrinkled edges on the border.

    Thanks everyone! Denise, this look is a preset in the program. ;) I think it's pretty cool!

    Kerry, a wonderful rendition here.
    I'm not personally much a fan of Holga, but it sure is interesting to learn about it and see Holga-like processing.
    Cool !
