I just found this excellent way of keeping your shutter open when you want a long exposure. Its on flickr and here is the picture.

There is some talk in the comments about buying a hacked Holga from http://holgamods.com, but personally i think this is genious!

Apparently you can pick up the clamps from your local hardware store for around £5 or $10. Much better than a $40 Holga from holgamods!

About The Author (me)

Hello, my name is Tom Durkin and I write the content here at Go Holga. I've had a Holga camera since 2005 and I fell in love with big piece of plastic straight away. Recently I realised how easy it was to make my own modifications and decided to show you how to do them via this website. I hope you find it useful.

    Hi - ingenious indeed! Still, I have purchased a number Randy’s modified Holgas from Holgamods.com. I highly recommend the purchase! I don’t have the time to modify them myself, and like the additional f-stop, closer focus and other mods he can provide me with!

    P.S. - Thanks for your comments about my Holga images! If you would like to use any of them on your site, please let me know and simply provide a link to LITfoto.com or my blog! I’ll add this site to my blog page as soon as possible!

    Hi there, thanks a lot for leaving a comment. I’ve never actually bought a hacked Holga from Randy but I assume they are very well done. It is something I would like to be able to do with more time :)

    No problem for the comment. I might be running a project soon if you are interested. I’ll put you in my blogroll also
