2 Minute Tricks # 14 – Holgafy

A look at how to Holgafy your digital images. A holga is a very low-tech $20 plastic medium format camera that was really made as a toy camera, but it has caught on with many photographers due to the unique look of the images a Holga produces. Holgas are plagued with light leaks, poor plastic lenses, and unpredictable controls. So why would one want to make their pristine digital image look like it was shot with a junker of a camera? Well the raw and kind of primal look you get with a Holga can be very appealing for certain images, and sometimes seeing images in a slightly different format can do wonders for the feel of an image.
