Take Panoramic Photos With A Holga 120 Camera

Take Panoramic Photos With a Holga 120 Camera


You can take amazing landscape photos with a panoramic camera. The trouble is, not everyone has hundreds of dollars to shell out for that kind of equipment. Luckily, there are alternatives. With a little practice, panoramic photos can be taken using a Holga 120 camera. In fact, the "Holgarama" is gaining much popularity among toy camera enthusiasts. These are a few instructions on create some "Holgaramas" of your own.


Instructions


1. Take your first picture, which will essentially be the start of your panoramic photo.


2. Turn the film advance knob, but not entirely to the next frame. To create a film overlap, take notice of the arrow atop the advance knob. Use your thumb to mark the location of the arrow's tail. When advancing the film, stop when the head of the arrow reaches the tail's previous location.


3. Position yourself to take the second shot of the panorama. This can be achieved by stepping sideways or simply standing still and panning the Holga. Either way, it is important to keep the Holga at the same height and distance as the first shot to lessen inconsistencies. The frames must be shot from left to right.


4. Repeat steps 1-3 as necessary.
