'Banal photo Shootout!' Melted Holga lens vs Nikkor 50/1.4...


Recommended Posts

That's what they said to Monet! As you know I like the Melted Holga impressionism. I need to melt some more.

 

Ted Orland's Holga images are amazing and humorous and very different from using the melted Holga lens with a digital camera. Ted Orland is also now playing with digital Holga but not melted. That's also a different look.

"Why even bother with a Holga when you can emulate the effect with a real camera?" -Andrew

 

 

"(Holgas) beat Hasselblads at every turn, and for good reason: 1) Holgas float! 2) you don?t have to buy a separate $65 Vignetting Filter; and 3) no one bothers to steal them. They?re even optically superior, carefully filtering out excessive sharpness so that realism doesn?t get mistaken for reality." -Ted Orland

I saw a new Hasselblad Softar filter at a Photo Fair recently for $275.00.

 

Hummmm...a "soft" filter for a Hasselblad? Wow, I'm doing that with a $30 Holga!

 

Ted Orland "rules" on Holga Art IMO.

 

Below is a rather typical example of a good Holga photo without any unusual things done to it.<div>00Lnsl-37362984.jpg.6be9c084ad82991b8dfb9a426e3ada8f.jpg</div>
