Holga my own

[sweetgrass]

I posted these in the weekend challenge as well, but since I placed the worst lens I have ever worked with on my Full Spectrum converted D300. I thought it was appropriate to post them here as well. This lens is quite difficult to work with, but when I get it right, the results are very pleasing to my eye.

#1 Trojan Horse. Basic processing, no WB adjustment or channel swap, but I did remove some power lines that were distracting.

#2 Sea Shell. Basic processing, but zero'ed out the red channel.

#3 Window into the Past. Basic processing, no WB adjustment or channel swap.

Some distinctly different results with this combination and your processing. I like the horse image with the sea shell close behind.

Hey Sonny, I am glad you shared them here too.

You do know that the whole point behind the Holga lens is that it is like one of the worst lenses made. That's how it developed a cult following due to it's odd and weird look.

I never even heard about this lens until this challenge, but yes I do know now. Weird, quirky and downright difficult, but the results are soooo cool when I hit the mark.

Interesting subjects and processing. I am sure there is a way to give a holga look to any image.
