Adding a Lens Hood To Your Holga
June 25th, 2008 by DurkinPosted in Tutorials
I found a great tutorial that explains how you can add a Lens hood to your holga, to help reduce flaring.
Lens flaring occurs when you take a picture directly into the source of light, whether that be a studio light, a domestic light, or the sun.
Here is an example of what lens flaring looks like:
Some people enjoy the effect but others don’t. I suggest doing it only if you do not like it. The hood will REDUCE flaring considerably.
You will only need a printer, scissors and some tape. Its a simple and cheap mod.
1.Head over to the Holga lens hood page to download a pre-drawn template of your choice.
2. Cut it out using your scissors or your exacto-knife.
3. Attach it to your Holga using your tape!

I like the light flare. I will try to shoot into the sun to see if I can achieve the same effects.
