You can use that film speed but you'l have to have your shutter speed at mega fast.. and your photos will be very grainy and washed... depends on the finish you want!!! You could do some really interesting high contrast stuff!!!

i'm using a holga, so images looking a bit shit and 'different' is the outcome i'm going for i guess.
there's only two shutter speed options; 1/125 and 'however long you hold your finger down on the button'

cocknose · 27-03-2007, 08:06

you can't use it then

1/125 shutter speed and ASA200 film is about the limit for a sunny day. Faster film than that overexpose.

if it's a proper sunny day then get a 50

kinda sunny 100

Andy · 27-03-2007, 13:17

ah man, the pics from today won't come out then!
so what exactly will they look like, just hideously bright?

cocknose · 27-03-2007, 13:44

white ghosts on white maybe...

hmm, i flickr searched holga 800 and holga 800iso and the photos from sunny days look fine, a little grainy but by no means ridiculously overexposed.
