This is me and my new Holga 135BC. I waited over three weeks for this baby to arrive.  Bit obsessed with lomography photography at the moment. I have a Diana Mini, a pink Holga 120CFN and now this, the Holga 135BC. Why get another Holga? Two reasons, this one takes 35mm film (which you can buy easily and get processed just as easily) as opposed to 120mm film, which is what the other Holga takes and not easy to find labs to process the film. Also, this one being a BC (Black Corner), it has a masking feature which adds to the interesting shadowy vignette in the four corners of the photo.

If you want a more detailed account of what lomography is then read my post here. Suffice to say, this was my first outing with my yellow Holga, and I am quite excited to see how the shots I took today come out. I shall take my film into Chichester later in the week as I think it’s going to be very different from the Diana.

Bless them, Luke and Orla are very tolerant of my photography passion, and patiently wait for me while I take pictures of sunsets, plants, trees, sea, flowers and anything else that piques my interest. Eventually though at some point, Orla will come and wag her finger at me, and tell me I am ‘taking too many pictures’.

The shot I took today was taken with my Fuji S9600.

P.s. Want to know why I had to wait three weeks for this, when I could have got one much sooner from the UK?  Because I could only get a yellow one from Hong Kong, and it HAD to be colourful. Goes nice with the green doesn’t it.
