yep, that’s what I used. It does best on really really bright contrasty days. Anything reflecting light will positively glow. And then I generally up the contrast and saturation a little to go with the blur. Here’s a few more taken with that:
June 4, 2009 at 3:22 am #22409U-ManParticipantI just ordered one. Looks like fun.
June 4, 2009 at 3:25 am #22410olavfParticipantThat looks pretty nifty. I could see a lot of frustration trying to frame up the shots that would come out good until I got the hang of it.
June 4, 2009 at 3:33 am #22411sooshParticipantit’s not without its frustrations. focus is total wild-ass guessing, unless your eyesight through these tiny viewfinders is better than mine. and as you focus, you’re unscrewing the thing, so sometimes you unscrew it right into two pieces. it’s not nearly as wide as I’d like, or rather I’d like a second one that was wider. Also the holga lenses themselves are a crapshoot, you never know how good or bad or exactly in what way distorted yours is going to turn out being. I’ve got a regular film Holga, and it sometimes takes a fairly decent shot like this:
and then sometimes takes a shot like this
and other times, it’s more like this:
but I enjoy the unpredictable aspect of it.
June 4, 2009 at 4:00 am #22412olavfParticipantlol I get enough unpredictability out of my normal pics :/
June 4, 2009 at 4:17 am #22413sooshParticipantthis is another one I considered for this week
but ultimately I decided it didn’t fit.
June 4, 2009 at 4:46 am #22414lokisbongParticipantIt does not fit imho soosh but it is damn funny I think.
Man I voted for a whole bunch of entries tonight. I am going to have to go back and check for more later.June 4, 2009 at 7:22 am #22415Choc-Ful-AParticipantHere’s some b-sides if you need more “Keep Out” photos…
Obvious warning for the truly dense
And as long as I’m posting, the voting is very weird tonight. The first place entry only has 7 votes at the moment even though the contest has been live on the main page for 3.5 hours. Dunno what’s up…
June 4, 2009 at 7:28 am #22416sooshParticipantlove the bird on the razor wire.
fark has been a little wonky tonight. instead of source tags on the articles, it’s mostly empty parentheses. I was wondering why the voting was so low, too. could just be a slow night, though.
June 4, 2009 at 7:46 am #22417swampaParticipantI blame it on the title of the contest – maybe farkers think we were referring to them 😛

Thanks! I almost posted the bird/wire one but it’s so dark I didn’t think it would do well, especially at 640 width. I really like the Holga effect you went with this week. My favorite is the one with the psychedelic green glowing plants through the railing.
And I think you’re right about the site bring wonky tonight. The empty parens where the article category should be is very odd.
