Digital Holga

Long time since my last blog, got discouraged by the discontinuation of my favourite film and difficulty/expense of ongoing film development. I had given up on Holga photography  - but I've just bought a Holga plastic lens for my Olympus E-620. It arrived today although I haven't had time to take it outside to try it out yet (we don't get much daylight during a Welsh winter!) but I did take one multiple exposure with it through my lounge window.

Olympus double exposure setting plus home-made Holga Splitzer pictured at the bottom  of  my blog dated Sat 27th November 2010.  

Okay so the subject may not be that interesting, but the Olympus multiple exposure setting looks like it will work well with the Holga lens. The built in art filters may also add some interesting possibilities. I know that analogue photo enthusiasts will be horrified that I've gone completely digital and given up on film, but with film companies giving up on us I decided it was time to try digital Holga.
