- This is the first of three videos where I go back to shooting film. First up is my beloved Holga camera. How can something so cheap, produce such evocative results?!

with a low quality camera, one can see even more the quality of the photographer. amazing eye as usual, reading light and structure like a boss :)
Thanks Armin
Beautiful pics. The Holga is showing me that good photography transcends sharpness.
8:00 minute picture, i could easily think its a world class painting for museums... Great work!
Very inspiring. I hate those videos with long intros, how great I am, drama music etc. This one got right to the meat and the photos were pretty good too!!!
Really enjoyed this one Craig. The square format and 'simple' compositions work really well.
Stuart
Really nice feel and flow to this one Craig and glad to see you using 6x6 film cameras - I love mine.
The Host photographer said that you never know what you will get, and since there is time until pictures are returned from processing, the is time to forget the subject matter too. So you are doubly surprised, and yet reminded, like seeing relatives at family gatherings.
Really liked the simple compositions and good location can't wait for the next one 👍
Brilliant!!! Why spend hours in Lightroom/Photoshop to get that effect when it can be done with a push of 1 button! Got me thinking now!! :o)
Or use the toy camera mode on your LX7.
That was such a relaxing video! You really play to the capabilities of the holga and show what its capable of. I love your style of simplicity and lines, pattern. Thanks for getting me interested in the Holga!! Subscribing for sure. 👍
the holga is an impressive camera for what it is made of!
great video
Haven't taken my Holga out for ages. I might have to rectify that now.
David Nash Oh you must. Of course, only REAL photographers shoot with a Holga!
Beautiful photos! Thx
Really loved this, square format, some of the shots remind me a little bit of the lensbaby crossed with film
A man of sophistication, I see.
Im taking a holga with me on the john muir trail this summer, really looking forward to the project
Craig, another excellent video as expected however by far the best line you said on your shoot was you try and get it right in camera. My sentiments exactly, far far too much emphasis on them dreaded words Post Production. A slight tweak here and there could be classed as acceptable but the majority of the they look so false...unbelievably so most of the time.
Love your uploads pal....Take care
The Holga is like a time machine.
The Argus model A is like a real time machine.
fantastic work overall, 8:01 and 8:12 are my favorites
Nice video, Craig, its good to see you are doing a few videos shooting with film cameras. I've dabbled with 35mm film cameras myself a little bit and enjoyed using them. The Corn exchange building is quite impressive looking and it reminds me of Wemyss bay train station in Scotland. Anyway great shots, Craig, look forward to your next one. :)
Awesome content, awesome video editting! Deserves more subscribers! Subbed!
This was great. thank you
I've just managed to grab one of these for about £11 off of ebay, as I wanted to try some 120 photography, and also picked up a couple of rolls of portra400 to run through it while I'm up in London in a few weeks. Hopefully get some interesting shots around the Excel/Canary wharf area. How does it handle putting 35mm through it using the adapters?
Very nice. Good choice of music.
Thanks. Yes, i like the music too
Great shots! Makes me want to take out my Seagull 4B-1 more often.
Interesting that you used Kodal Porta 400 "Color" film with the Holga yet most of your images have been converted to B&W (or a slight color tint (greenish)). Would Kodak Tri-X 400 have been the better choice for the Holga?
Portra is a great film and gives me the option of colour without having to change films and vice versa.
Great to know as I shoot Porta 400 with my Fuji GF670 and Shenhao 617. Never did B&W conversions in PS with Porta 400, but will give it a go now. Thx. PS Moving to Birmingham from India in Apr'17, maybe we'll meet up. PSS I do like the content and catching up watching all the videos.
@@e6Vlogs wait so how do you do it? You just turn them to B&W on photoshop?
Just bought the very same camera I love shooting film and seen everyone has fun shooting it I thought I give it a shot going to run it alongside my ETRS
Nice compositions
Inspirating shot
Thank you for your videos, I"ve learned a lot and I admire the artistic quality of your pictures. What is the music from 5:37 onwards? It's none of the tunes you gave in the description.
Sorry yes, I have updated the description with that track. It's part of a longer compilation
craig
your holga video has inspired me to have a go.
What, if any post processing do you apply to the images?
paul
Great video! Loved the outcome of the photos from this camera. You take great pictures 🙂
hi Craigg, when you shoot with the Holga camera do you use a lightmeter? or you just use it as it goes?
Well this camera makes Porta black-and-white how amazing 🤦♂️
Do you sharpen your pics with post processing? I'd love some tips for getting shots like yours out of this camera. Did you work out the focus lengths through burning rolls and rolls or maybe something a bit more methodical with meter sticks? Thanks
The aperture is small enough on a Holga where you have a pretty broad depth of field, so guessing the focal distance usually works.
Very interesting.
What do you do for processing? Do you get proofs made at the time? Scanning? Sorry for all the questions ☺️
I use a pro lab in Sheffield for processing and then scan the negs at home myself using an Epson V750 pro scanner.
e6 Vlogs Thanks for the info. Never been to Leeds, only through it on the train! Some good images there.
Didn't they stop making Holga's? Great vid, feel the need to stock up on them in case mine goes.
I think you can still buy them.
Or you could buy one of the millions of 6x6 and 6x9 cameras of the past. A few are as bad as a Holga. Many are battle-scarred yet astonishingly fine, like the 1929 Icarette I was given by a friend decades ago.
The images are black and white but you loaded Portra?
Yes that’s right
Hi Craig, I’m thinking about getting a Holga, I follow your channel and love your content, right enough creeping, the photo you took were both monochrome and colour but you only used one reel of film, how is that achieved, sorry I’m only a beginner
Brian A Always shoot colour with my fav Portra film and then convert to B&W. My preferred way and gives me the best of both worlds. Portra is easier to scan too.
Hello Craig, I would like to know how you digitize your film, thanks. Really good shots
Watch the rest of this film series to find out
How the hell do you balance these things? Are they auto balancing, do you just guess
buenisimo. la foto la hace el fotografo
Ah, man up and show us color with Portra!
I like the color of result from holga.. but i dont like vignet effect..
What do you film you videos on
Sam Orme Lots of coffee and Twinkie bars (oh and a G7X)
8:14 is a hipster’s wet dream
the photos look computer enhanced. same roll, some color, some not.
Too much chance involved in a Holga with its cheap plastic lens. I'd rather have control over how my shot will turn out than depend on the unpredictable results of the cheap Holga.
Hey, don't diss the Holga! Some of my best selling images have been taken with that camera
Danvil the chance is what makes it fun. you can still control your shot! your eye just has to be good enough so that the image looks good regardless of light leaks and vignettes ;)
