Tipster of the Day: Holga Likes To Swim

The Frogeye and the LCA+ Krab are the only known lo-fi creatures suited for underwater Lomography. But the Holga would like to disagree and it isn’t afraid of drowning either…

UNDERWATER HOLGA AND MULTI-EXPOSURES by stouf

    One question though...how do you take it underwater without ruining it? Is there some case you use?

    yeah! a great idea, but he miss the "how-to", because holga´s plastic body is ok with water but the metalic shutter is not... i´ll love to know how to drown my big black beauty...

    I would guess he has put a Fisheye lens on it (or at least it looks like that) and then, in all likelihood, has simply put the Holga in a plastic baggy, which must be the easiest way of finding a 'case' for the holga.

    mmm... i could be wrong, but i think he/she meant to take pictures with your holga ON LAND and then double the same film underwater with the Krab or frogeye. hence the "shoot BUILDINGS and people swimming between frames." Aren't many buildings under water that I know of, but i wish there were!

    I'd be curious to know how you can load a 120 film in an LCA or a frogeye....

    He is using an ewa-marine housing as well as the frame counter he designed for that purpose. Very clever and safe!...
    The "how to" is in his blog... which is worth a visit for those who never had a look at it. And while you are there have a look at his albums and videos! Stouf is an amazing, out of the ordinary lomographer!...

    These shots are incredible! well done Stouf!
