I have known about this forum for a while and have been lurking some until now..
I joined this forum in hopes of getting some good feedback on my fly fishing photography. I do something that probably is considered a little unconventional as far as traditional as far as fly fishing photography goes anyway.
I shoot with a Holga, with black and white film and in a square format, for the most part anyway…
I am attaching one photograph right now, which was one of my first fly fishing photographs. My fly fishing experience began nearly two years ago and have been doing photography for a lot longer than that.
That’s all for now..
Thanks!
Brian
Welcome Brian, I believe I have this set or another one of your holga fly fishing shots fav’ed on flickr.

Perhaps one of the two of you could help me understand the fascination that many have with Holgas. Over the years, I have seen many sing their praises in web posts, and I dig the results, but I have never caught on to the fanfare. Education, s’il vous plait.Bad-ass pics, Brian!

Thanks for commenting Dave.
For me, it’s a matter of aesthetics I like the results I get from using such a rudimentary camera.I like shots off the Holgas, they have a lot of emotion & feel and are sort of anti-geek..

A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.
Anybody got a good link on where to find one? Chad, didn’t you post something a few months back about getting some yourself?
D.
Yeah Dusty, Urban Outfitters had them for $9 last month in a 3 day sale. I’ve bought mine from Freestyle Photographic (when they were hard to find elsewhere a few years ago), and I think Adorama. Now it seems like they’re in every camera shop and trendy clothing store in town, usually at outrageous prices. Don’t pay more than $28 for one or you’re getting ripped off, unless it’s a special edition one.

Hi Brian
I like this kind of stuff, really intresting aproach.
I think I will have to get myself one and go out and “play”.
How many rolls of film did you use to get the hang of the camera?

Thanks Mike.
I have been shooting with Holgas for some 15 years now. it didn’t take me that long to master them though…
