You may be aware of a little hack, that allows you to greatly increase the tension in your Holga film.
What it entails, its ripping off the end of your card film packet, folding it and wedging it under your spool.
And the results? What it basically does is add more tension to your film while it is passing through your Holga. This means that you are less likely to get blurring around the edges of your shots, and very loosely speaking...less crazyness.
I have often wondered why people do this hack, and I don't recommend it, as it will definitely ruin some of the characteristics of your Holga. Don't do it if you want maximum blurring, but do do it if your strive for that 'perfect' photograph.
Hope you enjoyed the tip. There will be many more coming soon.
