Right I've come up with an idea for a new competition. However its not a free for all this time - what I want to see is some cool self-portraits taken with the Holga. The winner will recieve a free 1-year Flickr Pro account.

So - pick your best Holga self-portrait and post it in this thread. If you don't know how see this faq. Here's the terms and conditions:

SMALL SIZE IMAGES ONLY PLEASE!. The competition closes on 1st March 2008, so you have plenty of time to think of something creative! Please only post your entries here, if you have any questions, feel free to open up another thread.

It will be useful if you post some details on how you took the picture! Good luck and have fun!!

:EDIT: Wow judging this is going to be very hard! There are some wonderful entries already!

Sounds fun. I took a photo of myself, in a mirror. I also cut out small plane shape, and glued it inside my Holga, inside the mask, and then loaded film as normal. This leaves a silhouette of the shape on each picture.

My god, my first chance to publish my favorite picture in all my life :

Holga - simply perfect

I don't know why everybody say it suxx, but I simply think that it's the absolute unreachable most accomplished photography in that world

Extra.

This was the last frame on the roll. I just did the self portrait to finish and have it developed after a day in the pool. I was using the 6x6 mask. I got twelve regular frames, plus this extra one, rectangular.

Hey dude. Long time no see. Thought I'd throw my photo in here... it's a bit old. Took it about two years ago. It's an accidental double exposure.

a little privacy?
Taken in a dark bathroom so I couldn't see well enough to advance the film properly, but I kind of liked it cropped as a 4x6. Cross-processed, btw.

I've been working on a self portrait series with my Holga by experimenting with long exposures and light indoors. This is my most recent one which I think turned out pretty cool (and slightly freaky)...

Lots of good choices here – I don't envy the judge!

For me, I'm liking Foole for the straight-up and simple choice, and from the light-leaky, double-exposed old-fashioned Holga goodies, I'm partial to cbellphoto's.
