    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:

    I just ordered one. Looks like fun.

    That 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.

    it’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.

    this is another one I considered for this week

    but ultimately I decided it didn’t fit.

    It 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.

    Here’s some b-sides if you need more “Keep Out” photos…

    Bird on a wire

    Beware of vicious guard dog

    Fence with red diamonds

    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…

    love 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.

    I blame it on the title of the contest – maybe farkers think we were referring to them 😛

    My b-side for this contest:
    Himeji Castle entrance
    Himeji Castle
    Castle gate
    Osaka Castle moat and wall
    Osaka Castle
    Kyoto Imperial Palace moat
    Another temple gate
    More monkeys!

    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.
