I feel like there's very little creativity involved in using a holga camera. They are fun though. But there's no control. Its almost like youre buying a style of photography that you want to see yourself produce.
nice! i have not seen anyone else post Holga pics, nice to see! and nice pics!
True, you get the fuzzy feel with holgas. True, you get the vignetting with all holgas. Nothing special there. Every Holga has them. But, composition and when you decide to press the camera shutter is still up to you. And the fact that there is no settings for you to play with makes things even more difficult and inflexible for you.

There are no controls because the camera doesnt want you to impose your creative opinion on to the photo youre taking. Its artistic dictatorship. And the style im referring to with the holga is generally something you achieve in post processing, whether with film or with digital. With the holga its like youre chosing to use a template in photoshop and using that template with all your photos. I do like holga's style, but im some what anti holga also.
I feel like there's very little creativity involved in using a 50mm lens. They are fun though. But there's no control over focal length--every picture is shot at 50mm. Its almost like you're using a lens length that you want to see yourself use for every shot.
Never mind subject matter selection, or lighting direction, or the type of film put into the camera, or how the film is developed or how the film is printed. Never mind if the pictures are rendered in color or moncohrome. It's all the same. Very little creativity involved in using a 50mm lens. It doesn't t matter when the shutter release is pressed either, or how high or low the camera is positioned, or if the shutter is released smoothly, or jerkily, or if the camera is still or if it is panned with a moving subject. And it doesn't matter if the images are double-exposed. Because as we all know, the intrinsic qualities of the 50mm lens serve to stifle all creativity. All photos made with 50mm lenses look like they were made using a color-by-numbers template.
(sarcasm off now).

Both of you guys *entirely* missed the sarcasm. I'm astounded.
Nothing is "defined" in photography. The comment is asinine. Again, both of you guys missed the entire substitution of "50mm lens" for "Holga"--that is called a literary device. And I even put the words "sarcasm off now" at the end of my post,and yet....well, you get it now, right???

Like i said, i was referring to the processing style. Its defined. That's all.
