Book description
Holga photography typically features soft focus, vignetting, and
visible noise—traits that photographers often seek to avoid
in pursuit of traditional digital photography.
But these traits also define the unique character of Holga cameras
and lenses, which offer a style that is retro-cool, artistic yet
not pretentious—and often, a lot of fun. In this ebook,
photographer Robert Correll provides an overview of Holga
photography, featuring the Digital Holga SLR lens used with various
attachments, such as telephoto and wide-angle, and close-up and
macro lens sets. With his friendly and knowledgeable voice, he
walks you through the basics of how to use the quirks of the Holga
to your advantage, and includes several examples that illustrate
the creativity at your fingertips when using the camera.
Follow along with Robert and you will:
Learn how to handle Holga lenses, selecting camera modes, using Live View to monitor your lighting and compose your shots, focusing the lens, reviewing your shots, and making adjustments as you go.
Have fun with more advanced techniques, shooting close-ups and macros, using flash, experimenting with lighting, and making movies.
Process your own images by performing RAW processing and exploring your options in terms of exposure, color vibrance and saturation, vignetting, and contrast.
