Common Mistakes Shooting With a Holga

OK, here are some easy mistakes.  In fact, they're so easy to make that you're almost garanteed to make them once or twice... or more... on your first few films.

• "Oops, I forgot to take off the lens cap before snapping..."
• "... And THEN I advanced the film instead of just taking off the cap and shooting again!"
• "Unintended double exposure — I had forgotten to wind my film after the last shot!"
• "I just wound the film too far and skipped a frame."
• "I forgot to focus."

Now you know.  It's helpful to develop (so to speak) a standard operation procedure; for example, get in the habit of always winding to the next frame immediately after taking a picture, and you'll always be ready to snap a shot without wondering "Did I wind?"
