My attempt at re-creating the effect you get from toy cameras based on the galleries I researched that were shot with cameras like the Holga or the Diana. It is my hope someday to pickup a cheap 35mm toy camera to play with, i'm still cruising around the shops looking for something.

This was shot at the IPE in august there, I actually have a really cool color version of this photo in the works, it's just removing all the dust spots from it (some may recall me mentioning my lens had dust on the inside of it).

If you've ever shot with a toy camera please feel free to tell me what you think, if I actually came anywhere close to re-creating the effect.

I really love this - the effect looks great although I don't know what kind of thing you were trying to acheive. Featured it in my journal :)

^_^ Thank you, I was going for a toy camera effect (basically film shot in a little plastic camera with a plastic lens and little to no settings adjustments).

I love toy cameras, and have recently been experimenting with them. The best type to get would be a cheap Holga. They're around 30$ or less on eBay, and you can usually find film at your local photography shop, or just grab a film adapter and shoot regular 35 mm. Toy cameras are great, I'd definitely recommend purchasing one!

It's on my Christmas list w/ the adapter ^_^

The sucky thing is i've been going to value village every two days to find one because I have seen a holga 120cn there in the past before I really knew about them.

^_^ Thank you, if I do i'll have a bit of a tough time scanning them without my scanner.
