All comments welcome.

This is the very first sample of Holgaroid I have ever come across in PhotoNet, and that is great. Please keep posting them!

Eirik,

Wow, this is great. I just picked up a polaroid back that I had my eye on for a while. This image made me finally pull the trigger and get it. I've just started to experiment with it and was wondering if you've made any modifications to the Holga to get a little longer exposure? It strikes me that the slow Polaroid emulsions and the slow lens and shutter might be limiting this setup to bright-light scenes. Thoughts?

Thanks for the comments. I haven't done anything to my Holga yet, so it requires quite long shutter times. I just set it at the Bulb setting and press the shutter for how long I consider right. I don't always get it right though, and the pictures are rarely sharp. But that is the whole fun with the holgaroid. You can modify the holga to get a f5,6 aperture instead of f8. Search the web for a solution to this.

Thanks for the reply Eirik. I have modified the aperture by removing the little plastic ring in the lens, but I don't have a bulb setting on mine (though I will by tonight!). Looking forward to seeing more of your shots.

 

Regards,
