Dear fellow deviants. I have a Kickstarter project that is ending in about a week.
www.kickstarter.com/projects/i…
At this point it is only 30% funded. PLEASE take a look and consider supporting me, AND please share the link with at least one other person. (If that person is incredibly wealthy, that would be even better!) It will be good for your art karma . .
Thank you.
(Group admins, feel free to mention this in your group journal or announcements. . . THANKS!)

What about using Holga lenses & Old-school filters on DSLRS? As i've managed to Jury-rig a Sunagor Super-Wide 0.42x 55m adaptor onto a Holga HL-PGL meniscus lens (minus the vignetting filter built into the back of the lens, I prised it out). The effects are very similar, but would those pictures qualify? Or are you strictly film only?
I'm a holga newbie. How can you tell a photo is faked? I'm totally curious.
I was talking about this with my friend and I started saying: "i wanna say that there tend to be signs of it being photoshopped most of the time, and there are signs of digital modification at times, that tend to show in the resolution, but i'm not 100% sure. It'd be easier to describe if one has more experience in spotting photoshopped images..."

However he added a few important things that i overlooked:
"Have you ever noticed photoshopped images often lack two important traits of Holga photos?
Softness
And lens imperfection
Two overlooked but very important aspects of Holga images"

Is this group dying? I hope not, cause this is one of the best groups on DA :O_o:
Nope! We're still here!
Thank you
:aww:
