New camera: Holga 135BC
My most recent camera purchase was of a Holga 135BC toy camera. My New Year’s resolution was to not buy so many cameras and photography-related stuff… but yeah, that didn’t last long.
I already have a number of “regular” Holga cameras but I thought I’d give this one a try since it seemed pretty neat.
Yesterday I finished my first roll and developed it, and I gotta say… I really like what I get from this camera. Being winter and low on daylight hours I haven’t had a chance to shoot many interesting things (all we have around here is snow), but this little camera will definitely get a workout once spring/summer hits. I took some indoor flash photos that turned out surprisingly well, so I may make this my “party camera.”
The whole set can be viewed here, but below are three of the better shots from the roll.

The photos came out pretty nice! It’s amazing what can come out of those plastic Holgas. You have a beautiful cat, too.

Great stuff, what flash did you use?

I used the Colorsplash Flash from Lomography.com. It doesn’t fit all that well on the camera (the winding knob gets in the way) but it works well enough.
If I find another compatible flash that fits on the camera better, I’ll definitely pick it up.
