So I was reading the other day about these cameras, and I must admit I'm impressed, mainly by the Colorsplash, the Holga and the Smena Symbol. So I figured since the GA forums have a massive cross section of folks who have various hobbies, one or two of ya'll might have messed around with these things and can give me an idea if it's a fun thing to take up as a hobby.
For those like me who hadn't heard of any of this before yesterday, here's some pics.
The Colorsplash, which really does nothing more than but a colored filter over the flash:
And some pics:
And the Holga, which apparently produces some really cool dream-like pictures:
Now of course, these could all be pictures with MASSIVE Photoshop touchups...or for that matter something I could easily do with my digital camera's shots in PS if I bothered to buy a damned book and put the time into it.
But that's why I turn to you, the OT.
