My favourite Holga photos... Part 1!

*warning - this is a long photo post*

Can you believe that since I've had my holga I've taken 14 rolls of film - thats more than one a month and I don't care to think how much money. It's been completely worth it though!

Each film has been a joy and I constantly find myself looking back through my photos, remembering exactly how I felt when I heard the shutter snap and I am always changing which photo is my favourite in each film...

So here is are my current favourites from each film that you may not have seen before.

Roll 1: I heart Kirkstall Abbey!

Roll 2: Our first holga shadow photos, I love the colours!

Roll 3: Hurray for Scarborough and double exposures!

Roll 4: A different side of Birmingham…

Roll 5: Me taking a picture of C taking a picture of G, taking a picture… haha, love it.
Oh and theres another gorgeous Abbey in the background…

Roll 6: I had to include Harry of course!

Roll 7: I love the mountains in the background.

Roll 8: The gorgeous beach at Llandwynn Island

Roll 9: Some pretty bikes in Caernarfon

Roll 10: I’m spotting a trend of bright colours and high contrast!

Roll 11: Playing with my fish eyes lens. I should really use it more…
9
Roll 12: One of my photoswap photos I sent

Roll 13: A beautiful stream in Malham.

Roll 14: Kirkstall Abbey again, I love it.

Eee, I think I'm going to have to do a similar post again next year, this has been so much fun (though harder to pick just one from each roll than I thought) I love my holga!!

p.s. you guys are amazing, such a fantastic response to the giveaway, I'm happily overwhelmed.

Holga week = Holga giveaway - Now Closed!!!!

So this week is a dedicated holga week on my blog, celebrating my year spent taking photos with my beloved holga 135bc. I have some exciting posts coming up but what better way to celebrate than with a giveaway?! Hurray!
And I have to say, this one is rather amazing!
(you can thank me later...)

Holgarama is a UK based store which focuses primarily on selling holga camera, kits and accessories for a reasonable price within the UK.

After realising that getting hold of Holgas in the UK can be difficult and expensive, Holgarama took the initiative and decided to contact the manufacturers of the Holga camera directly and ask them about the possibility of importing some cameras into the UK to help out other people get their hands on these amazing cameras cheaply.
Isn't that fantastic!

I wish Holgarama had been around when I wanted to buy a Holga because as well as providing an amazing store for UK holga lovers, Holgarama is also a great resource for further information about holga cameras - with a great introduction to holgas and a must read Buyer's Guide detailing all the information you would want to know about which holga to choose.
So... you can win: A Yellow Orange Holga 135BC from Holgarama!

Isn't it lovely? I didn't even know you could get a yellow one!
Is two holgas too many? I want one too!

Dear Leeds,
Please let me find a nice 2 bed house with a garden, close to where we live now, with 2 storeys and good storage. I know its alot to ask, but hopefully by putting it out there something will come along...

You got here sooner than I expected and honestly this week wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but I'm still super excited to see you - you should be so much fun!

Dear Nicole,
If I could get over there and hug you I would - perhaps we need to invent some kind of teleporter??
