'Light Leaked & Messed Up'

The most unique and trademark aspect of the Holga are light leaks. The camera pretty simple- and light can penetrate the Holga and produce light incidences on your negative. This can be anything from a slight red tint on the frame to a fully burnt out image with the film exposure number and designation burning onto the negative. It's most likely to happen in bright sunlight, after dropping the camera on the floor, or slightly loosening your 120 spool after taking it out of the camera.
