So - last Thursday I was online and looking at some Holga images and suddenly had a wee epiphany. I love the antique quality of the images produced by these cameras and have been searching for a way to produce the same effect with digital. Well - I thought a magnifying glass might just do the trick. So on an impulse I bought one off Ebay for £1 and received it just before my trip to Paris. This image is a little experiment at my house to see if it would work - interesting I think. I had an amazing time in Paris and am surprised I did not end up in the local mental institution. Walking around shooting through the glass certainly drew some attention. I had to show my LCD to many a passer-by. Paris photos will follow tomorrow as I am still going through them - but here is the test...

So pretty - very excited to see what you captured.
