I love to go take photographs in a little fishing village not far from where I live because things are always piled or left in different positions literally every day so there is always the opportunity for a newish composition. No doubt the camera was a Holga....
Probably HP5 in HC110 taken a couple of years ago.

Nice, but I wish the DOF was deeper on the lobster traps.

I think when your in the Holga world you don't think about DOF other than were do I set the focus distance, I presume Tommy has it set to its nearest focus distance, the bottom and edges looks OOF but in reality its just blur on the edges that give it this unique look, the Holga look, you either like it or not, I love the look, takes from the realms of just another crab net shot to something quite different

Totally agree with you, Martin. Even though I set focus so the traps were in focus, the joy is seeing what the Holga returns. The Holga has a mind of its own but like you I very much like the quirky results it produces. Thanks for the comment.
 
Tommy, might I ask if you have added any blur to the background or is it as is out of the camera, I am only asking because I love the way it looks, so much visual depth
