Smile!
| Camera | Holgaroid 120GF |
| Lens | Holga Glass 60mm f/8 |
| Shutter @ Aperture | 1/100s @ f/8 |
| Film / ISO | Polaroid Type 84 / 100 ISO |
EDIT: Tanja corrected my memory: I removed the adapter lens, I didn't turn it backwards...although that would be something to try :)
I'm continuing with the summer theme for a bit. Smile!
I was armed with the Holgaroid and taking a walk through the woods by my office with a colleague when I smelled something foul being carried by the hot, persistent summer breeze. I followed the stench upwind to a marshy area when I came upon this grin. I remembered some advice that Tanja-Tiziana from DoubleCrossed.ca had given me when I had bought my Holgaroid: remove the adapter lens and use the stock Holga body lens as a macro. I got in closer than I thought I need to and came away with this shot, which still looked wide: but at least it was in focus!
I love the way this shot turned out. It works perfectly for me!

First off, that's an AWSOME shot. You really hit the focus. How far away were you from the subject??
Second, I never said to turn it backwards! I've never tried that! hehe. I actually leave the adapter OFF completely and go in for macro that way. :D
