Well I'm going to have to update my Holga Mods page soon. I was experimenting with 2 - 5 second exposures, using a dark red filter with slow film. So I was using my Holga that I super glued a bolt to the bottom for a tripod mount. Things were going nicely, maybe some good shots, maybe not. I was carrying the tripod with the camera on, when all of a sudden I saw the camera bounce on the ground and in that split second the back popped as if it was made to do that, so I had a wonderful view of my half used roll of film (this was one camera that wasn't all trussed up with velcro to keep this exact thing from happening). Of course I stood there for a second taking in all that had just occurred. And I knew there was no point in rushing to get the back on, because by this point the light had already gotten in. I just laughed. It was really quite funny. And I kept laughing. Hell, if you have a good sense of humor try super gluing the bolt to the bottom.
This is a great example of why I love the holga, you really can't take yourself or your picture taking too seriously.
Soooo, cross off the idea of super gluing a bolt to the bottom of the camera to use as a tripod mount. I have seen a new version of the Holga that does have a tripod mount. And it also has different colored filters to go over the flash--psychedelic. Maybe that will have to be my next major camera purchase.
