Europe through a plastic lens

Now that I’ve had a chance to go through all the film from my trip to Germany and Austria, I wanted to share my favorite photos I took with my Holga earlier this summer. Using the Holga for the first time was a great challenge to someone like me who hasn’t shot film since high school. It was a lot of fun to challenge myself to make pictures in a foreign environment with a camera that was foreign to me.

Here are a few more Holga frames from my trip to Europe last month. Schloss Neuschwanstein, roughly translated as the Castle of New Swan Mountain, is one of the most famous and popular castles in Germany. Built in the late 1800s, it is the inspiration for Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Here are a few frames I took with my Holga last month in Salzburg, Austria. The multiple exposure below was an attempt to show a few sights in the city including Mozart’s tourist presence and the horse-drawn carriages.

Berchtesgaden, Germany

Here are a few frames from my trip to Berchtesgaden, Germany last month. Berchtesgaden, located in Southern Bavaria, is known infamously as the home of the Nazi party elite during World War II. While there, I visited the Eagle’s Nest, which is known in German as the Kehlsteinhaus. The party gave Adolf Hitler the mountain-top house as a present for his 50th birthday. After the war, it was spared from demolition and it is now a museum and restaurant. I recommend the Wiener schnitzel and beer if you ever go.

Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW)

I’m usually not a huge fan of museums. That was until today. We visited the BMW Museum, which was especially interesting because of the priceless collection it houses and also because of the architecture of the museum itself. It was one of the coolest buildings I’ve been in. Normally I stray away from museum shots, but I made a few pictures at the BMW Museum playing off of their interesting lighting setups:
