You have to tape it to avoid leaks. In cloudy day you must use flash and change the aperture. Try kodak gold 200 and bulb at night, you wont regret it 😊. Nice B&W shots although.
@@Brandongorriedraining? the same you would do to other camera in bulb with 8 f or 11 f aperture. I use my lightmeter app + reciprocity film app to get the time to exposure. Is for analogical lovers, otherwise you always have your Iphone ;-).
"Hey, Katharine...can I take ya pick-cha". You are too funny, Brandon. You have improved since your first post (Olympus af10....with the bad language). But yeah, this was interesting and funny, all at the same time. Before I go, the frame lines on the Olympus af10 - if you take the image, that exceeds The frame lines, does it cut the image out. How literal are the frame lines - or are they just a rough guideline? Out😊
Hey what's up dude, I never took the time to check the AF-10 barriers, but I always shot as if the frame cutoff was at the inner rectangle and they've always come out accurately for me :)
These shots are great. But why would you bother fixing things in Photoshop? I mean, it is what it is - a cheap, plastic camera that is quite unique. Embrace it's limitations. 🙂
For me, shooting with a Holga is a waste of a good roll of film. The only time I use a Holga is when it will do something my real medium format cameras cannot do. For example, take 6x12cm panoramic images and/or capture pinhole images. Note: October 1-7 is Holga Week.
That's a good point, however, I might add that the impression of the subject in a lower fidelity might add to a composition when the perfection of a studio 6x7 might cut through too harshly.
@@Brandongorrie I uderstand what you are saying and I agree with what you are saying. However, based on my shooting style and my taste, I know that when I want high image fidelity, I rely on expensive medium format and large format film to deliver. When I do not need high image fidelity, I prefer shooting inexpensive 35mm film or inexpensive digital images.
That cloudy/sun switch is a switch from f8 to f11, the shutter speed is fixed at 1/100th
What about bulb?
the switch on the back is for when using the 645 insert for 16 shots rather than 12 for 6x6 insert not 220 film you cant use 220 film in the holga
I totally botched that, thank you for pointing this out!

How much time have you spent shooting bulb on a Holga with Kodak Gold 200 at night? This sounds draining

@@luiyimora I'd love to see some examples of your work, do you have them posted anywhere?
@@Brandongorrie not yet, I will and I will let you know :-)
Damn great content man. Really enjoy your work.
Thank you!
Should’ve pushed two stops on the HP5. But the box speed shots look solid
Awesome video! We need to do another one!
Yes sir, it’s a necessity
I even kind of like some colour dark shots. but BW worked a lot better for sure. great video
You can get away with a lot when your only concern is light and shadows ;)
The Black and whites were nice. You should have used an off camera flash. It does have a hot shoe for it.
Man's got big plans for his Holga shooting experience! Thank you for the idea, it's wild bro!
Don't the metal clips slide up to open the back and slide down to keep the back closed?
They do, and they were giving me a run for my $40!

I wanted to fix in Photoshop because the curiosity of knowing what they COULD look like with editing is far too strong for my feeble will against it.

Enjoyed this a lot. Shame about the colour shots - but the b+w we're on point. 🫰
Cheers, m8. The B&W were a fave and honestly, with the clouds that day, I think its for the best that the B&W came out!
