Toy camera photography
-
Can i introduce you to Toy Camera photography. Photography using plastic cameras and plastic lenses often held together with velcro and gaffer tape. The images taken these cameras can be beautiful and often creative. Lightleaks and multi exposures are trademarks. No f stops, focusing is not important and as for exposure you have no choice, just press the button. Great fun.
Here are some images taken with a Holga.

Eddie,
I’m off to buy a Holga now, can’t say much more than that I think :D
I’ve linked directly to it on your site here. Might make it easier for folks to see.
If you don’t want it linked like this let me know and I’ll remove :)I’m a bit confused about this image… I know I like it, but I can’t for the life of me explain why.
Top marks for originality and for producing a really nice image.
That lens has some vignetting problems though :wink:
Try reproducing that in photoshop……now, wheres my Fisher Price wide angle?
My Holga, velcro, tape and all that comes with using a cheap plastic camera.
My own Holga ain’t too far off that.
I added a screw in for a cable release too! The aperture is soon to be drilled to an f/2.8 too.
Great fun camera imo. And even better when you get great shots with it.
I’d love to try it myself sometime, fun, never have a clue what’s going on.
Post on some more images please.
