- I swapped the Nikon FM2n for the Holga GCFN last minute before heading to the airport and then onto Barcelona, onto Croatia. Did I have any regrets? Getting into if the Holga GCFN is a good travel film camera or not...

Ahhhh!!! What a fun trip and great photos! A Holga seems like the perfect way to capture an Adventure! Those Double Exposures are the coooooolest! I def want to learn how to do those well with my Holga. So much fun! Thank you for sharing! 🥰🥰🥰
thanks!!! it's so cool to get some double exposures that come out nice - definitely give it a go!
Holga's make for fun travel cameras. I loved that I took it with me to Montreal, and I loved all twelve frames! I tend to keep the vignetting as it feels part of the charm. Great shots, Croatia looks fantastic!
yess!! that's awesome, Montreal is so fun too ! :)
I have told you that Croatia will be beautiful, old school beautiful.
And your pictures are really nice and you are right, beautiful pictures are the one who looks like memories.
Corner to corner sharp images does not, they look like reality and who needs that....I have that every time I open my eyes.
Well said!
What a trip! The Krka waterfalls are so cool, I’d love to visit some day.
it was so fun! the waterfalls were amazing, crowded but I didn't mind, it was so worth it going there!
WOW! You took some stunning photos with that plastic camera!!
Thanks!!
Gorgeous photos, good idea to swap cameras.
Thanks!! I didn’t regret it
Bravo for just taking the Holga!! You got lovely results. That glass lens looks sweet!! Funny, that with my holga I actually need to put more vignette in to get that 'holga' look. Nice video. 🙂
thanks! hahah love that though - maybe we should trade holgas! lol
I love Croatia and Split is on my list to visit (I've been to Dubrovnik and Pula but not yet Split). Looks like you had a wonderful time and it looks beautiful there.
Split is for sure worth another trip to! and there's so much to do around it too, you can easily fill a week there!
Beautiful video and photos! Glad to know I'm not the only Muppet who mistakenly shoots an entire roll on 'B' mode. Funny you mention cropping the Holga pics....I just twigged to doing the same thing. Cheers!
Hahaha nope you’re not alone! Yeah I like them better cropping!
Cracking photos...just proves it doesn't always have to be a state of the art camera .
Absolutely! And thank you!
Kodak Gold did a great job capturing the colors of the places on your trip -- and yeah, the Holga does seem to 'de-escalate' the process of taking a photo -- there is only so much thinking that you need to do other than composing, so you have more attention to pay to the composing and your surroundings. I do enjoy my more 'automatic' 35mm cameras (autofocus, very good auto exposure) for the same thing -- less thinking about the process and more on the image. Taking an all-manual 35mm camera -- and figuring out exposure, best DoF, focus -- does reduce the spontaneity of the photo taking experience -- unless the photo trip specifically requires that. Glad that you had a great time -- the shots all came out -- and you are over your illness. Apples-to-Apples -- great game!
thanks! Kodak Gold never lets me down! haha apples to apples will always be on the game shelf, classic!
So light and so easy to carry. I love my Nikon N90s, but it encourages me to lug around a wide, portrait and 80-200f2.8 lens which is alot when you want to enjoy your vacation and not worry about expensive gear getting stolen.
totally!!
I am thinking of getting one of the different versions of Holga cameras myself, and I've seen so many videos on here.
Everybody had different styles and fun with it.
I know some say to use the tape to keep the cover from falling off and put some on the holes in the counter.
I think you can get a 35mm adapter to shoot 35mm on it.
Barcelona is beautiful!
Yes there are so many types! I’d love to try 35mm in the Holga soon and yesss Barcelona is fab!
i use too
Trogir is pronounced like Tro-gear. You passed right by my boat. 😉
Thanks! And that’s cool!
Are you submitting to HolgaWeek too? Love many of the double exposures.
i am!! thanks :) it's probably my fav thing to do with the holga :)
Can also try shooting 35mm with exposed sprockets in the Holga! ~24 images.
Planning to do this soonish!
Next time just tell people you were playing around with the Orton effect. Smiles and waves from Memphis! -a random mike
Haha need to google that! Cheers!
@@Eclectachrome Please do. I know you said that you hate tripods but a bean sock with a cable release should do. Think double exposure with one in boke' and the other sharp. good shooting
@@lupindeweir I found it, but it mentions the effect is a dreamlike glow? is that the right one? sounds like something perfect for the holga!
@@Eclectachrome There you go! It's usually a darkroom/xshop technique but you should be able to replicate it on one frame.
