Hi Thilo, And that is exactly why today's inexpensive digital cameras are so valuable to teach photography. Digital Images are very very cheap and files are so easy to delete and try again :) Andre

Hi Andre,
there are a lot of things you said I totally agree with. The toys sharpen your eye for the subject. It would be a good idea to start with plastic cams and train the eye and then upgrade to the expensive one and make the images perfect. =)

Hi again Thilo, I just read your interesting discussion with Roger.
My take on these toy cameras is that they capture a kind of primitive image.. Maybe that is not the right way to describe it. They have a name for it in painting too. Not sure how to describe it, kind of like re-discovering your inner child without the pressure of perfection attached to the image. Just pure fun or enjoyment! Also, If you have an "eye".... $10,000.00 lenses are not always a requirement :) Andre

Hi Thilo, A perfectly suited subject for the fisheye lens. One thing that those lenses do so well is enhance an already semi comical feature on a subject, like this truck's grill. It is like when a person draws a caricature of a famous person and enhances their nose or ears or something like that. This image makes me smile :) Andre

Thank you for trying to explain, Thilo, I really appreciate it. The nearest thing in my experience is using my mobile phone to capture oddities that I notice and I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to take with an SLR (I don't posses an expensive DSLR! [grin]). I guess I just have a pretty low tolerance for poor visual quality... On the other hand most of my pictures ARE taken as part of daily life.... Hmmm. You've really started me thinking, Thilo!

Hi Roger,
for me, the attraction of the Holga is to shoot the normal, the daily life scenes, to take them out of the normal. Like the serial killer picture from me. It's a totally different feeling. I'm not the guy to use an expensive DSLR for daily life pictures.

Hmmm. I think my tolerance for "crappy" is probably a bit lower than yours. I am finding it stretches me to use a FSU camera but I must admit to a greater sense of achievement when I actually succeed in producing something reasonable with it. That must be the attraction of the Holga, right?

Hi Roger,
well yes, for sure. But it's the same shooting pictures with the crappy Holga and not with the Hasselblad: The feeling while making pictures is totally different, so are the ambitions. =)

"Real" fisheyes that give you good image quality are even more fun... in my opinion, anyway. You could obviously make good use of one if you had one.

Perfect choice! The lens renders the car's grille with just the right quirkiness. Nice work . . . Best wishes, --George PS: Are there reflections? ;-)
