I recently bought a Holga 120N (about $25) and decided to give Lomography a go. This is my first attempt. I used the 35mm adapter and shot a roll of Fuji Superia X-TRA (400 ASA). Out of 36 I got 3 or 4 that I thought were presentable.

Notice the red spot in the middle. Light leak? On this shot it is not really that bad, but here is an extreme example of the "red in the middle".

The camera has a hot shoe and I used a Holga flash unit that I purchased with the camera. Those shots came out the best.

I sent the film away for processing and had the processor create a JPEG CD so that the images could be uploaded and shared.

All in all, it is kinda cool to get back to film and not knowing how the shots will turn out for a week or so. It's kinda like Christmas when the envelope with the negatives and prints arrive. It really makes me slow down and think about the shot. Lomography may even help me re-think the way I shoot digitally.
