Holga Barn Photo
For my first try at recreating a holga photo, I figured the old barn would make a good subject. :) I spent quite a while looking on the internet to get a better idea what a holga photo looks like. I decided to go with sort of a cross-processed look. I also added a vignette, several blur overlays, and some light leaks using a tutorial I found here. Any comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.
Christopher, I am very new to this technique and from what I've seen on the net-this is a very good interpretation of the theme. I like the warm tones and leading line.
Christopher, This is the best one yet imho. You have all of the Holga elements - blur, vignette, poor color rendition, and the one that has been eluding us - light leaks! Great job!

Hi Chris - nice job of recreating the Holga look - great thing about this is you cant really overdo it!!!
Looks good!
This is a wonderful composition. The Holga effect makes the photograph. It creates an impression of a path leading up to an overgrown patch in front of a run-down barn (Is it actually a run-down barn?).
Thanks everyone. Appreciate the comments!
Deborah, this is our barn, which dates back to the Revolutionary War and is one of my favorite subjects for photos. I wouldn't exactly call it run-down, but it definitely shows its age.

Christopher, good job at replicating the toy camera! You have all the elements working for you.

Thanks Kerry. :)
Christopher, this is a beautiful image. I didn't know your barn was that old - that's really neat:) The effects are very effective.
