tiptoeing, twice over



ron posted a lovely holga image a couple of weeks ago, and confessed to gradually gaining insight into the workings of that little plastic camera.
my insight is still sorely lacking, unfortunately, and my success rate is still lamentably low. i do like this particular photo, but, admittedly, it's hard to mess up such glorious subject matter.


*ahem*
well.....hard, but not impossible.

    I think your Holga is the perfect camera for photographing those fields of tulips. Lovely!
    At least you've managed to prevent light leaks in your Holga. I haven't been so lucky.

    What a lovely way to start my morning, Lynn, with beautiful fields and a chuckle!

    well... i prefer the second one. true. it feels like a tapestry and give more deep to the idea of tulips.

    i have to tell you while I do really like the first one I think the second is even better. Double exposures can be fantastic.

    I do love me some tulips...so much so, that I literally gasped when I saw that field. Like the second shot, too. :)

    Holy SH*T. I don't even know what the 2nd shot is but I am AMAZED by the first one. Like the Nation Geo Traveller Mag: Where in the World Are You? Well, you could only be in Holland, no? BEAUTIFUL.

    these shots are just beautiful - love the dual exposure on the bottom - it's sort of dream-like.
    i haven't used my holga or lomo since moving to germany - hard to believe that it's going to be three years this september!
    maybe we should bring them to london and do some holga shots?
