HolyOly Photos





Recently I've been doing some photography with a digital camera and Holga toy camera lens. The Holga lens is mounted onto a digital camera body cap and that is mounted on the camera. I have one I use on my Olympus E-300. I call it the HolyOly. These digital Holga body cap assemblies can be purchased through Randy Smith at www.holgamods.com. Attached are a few samples I took today.

Cell Phone Photography


I recently obtained a new cell phone and it was equipped with a very decent camera. Yesterday I was walking my dogs on a very foggy morning and did not have my standard camera with me. I saw about 8 Turkey Vultures sitting on the fence and warming up in trees and on telephone poles. All I had was my cell phone, so I tried taking a few snaps. It was difficult to see the monitor so I needed to line up the phone with the poles and street and hope for the best. Here is one interesting example. The photo is converted to b/w.
