Holga: effects of coloured filters
My Holga came with both filter packs. One filter pack has 4 x coloured filters (red, blue, orange and green, I think) and the other pack has 4 x clear centre filters (these are coloured filters with a clear centre - there's no green and one is not coloured). I thought the standard coloured pack would work best with black and white, but you can use them for colour as well.
A Flickr user called TWB! has shot four identical photos, using a different coloured filter each time. They're in TWB's Holga set. Look down and you'll see four photos of a small wooden jetty. Each has a slightly different tone. I like the red and the green especially, but they're all subtly different.
Well worth a look if you have the filter pack or are thinking about one. Looks like fun. Probably a bit more fun in some ways than messing around with a graphics program.
