PICTOGRAPHICS: HOLGANIZER

I'm a sucker for film photography but I have to admit that I don't have the patience to wait for my pictures to be processed at times... Yep, sadly our attention span is getting shorter by the minute.

Good thing, I stumbled upon HOLGANIZER. It's your "friendly neighborhood" online Holga with film strips, light leaks, and controls on vignetting and contrast, how cool is that?


WHAT IS A HOLGA?

Holga is a cheap chinese plastic medium format camera, and even the lens is in plastic. It creates distortion, light leaks,...
There are many different Holga models :
- Holga 120S : The original Holga. Fixed shutter speed, plastic lens, hot shoe.
- Holga 120N : Same, with tripod mount, B mode.
- Holga 120SF : A standard Holga 120S, with a flash.
- Holga 120GN : A Holga 120N with a glass lens.
- Holga 120FN : A Holga 120N with a flash.
- Holga 120GFN : A Holga 120FN with a glass lens.
- Holga 120CFN : A Holga 120FN with a color flash.
- Holga 120GCFN : A Holga 120CFN with a glass lens.

So if you want to give your favorite pictures an extra oomph Holganize it. For Photoshop geeks, it's also available as an Adobe Photoshop™ action to download, with more presets and more effects than the Holganizer online tool, and hi-res image outputs.
