.holga revisited.

Revisiting the holga effect, photoshop style. Here are some cool little action files you can play around with that holga feel you love so much. I’m also throwing in a Lomography action as well. They are hosted on Adobe’s Studio Exchange, so you will need to have an account with Adobe to be able to download them, no worries, the account is free. Don’t remember how to use actions? Check out the tutorial I wrote on actions, particularly the “Playing the Action” and “Loading a Downloaded Action” parts.

.im back.

Back from Hawaii! Not that I am actually excited to leave such a great place after spending two weeks there. Such a beautiful place. I’ll try to get some photos up soon, didn’t get to take all that many, since i was so busy with snorkling, swimming, hiking, and laying on beaches. Hope life has treated everyone well since I’ve been gone!

.carbonmade.

Here is a cool site you should check out. Carbonmade lets you set up a relatively easy gallery. A free account gives you 5 projects, with 30 total images hosted. It’s not alot, but its a fun way to share family photos, vacation photos, etc. I love the sleek feel to the galleries. And heck, it’s free, why not give it a spin?

Check out the quick gallery i set up.

.holga.

Holga cameras for those that don’t know are basically toy cameras, made out of alot of plastic, and interestingly enough, use medium format film. Alot of people like the holga because it’s the cheapest way to get into medium format, and the plastic lens creates a unique look.

Well Holgamods has an option for dSLR owners wanting that holga lens effect. They have attached a holga lens to a body cap. A little pricey in my opinion, but still pretty cool.
