Practicing for LoFi #2
-
Took these whilst heading up to Gunnes for some supplies on Tuesday.
Martin gave me a few Holga tips the day we were out and the results have improved a bit from earlier (un-posted) efforts.

Hey John,
Good set you got there. Nice sweet spot where its sharp in each.
#1, 3 + 4, I particularily like. The toning is the job on the 2nd one.. very nice
We’ll have to get Martin to post up his tips :)John, they are very good… I like 1 and 3 most of all…. and… ehm… what about those “Holga tips”????????? :)
Thanks M n A.
Some tips I got from Martin (hope he doesn’t mind):
* Always wait for the light to hit the subject as the Holga doesn’t operate that well in shady/dark scenes
* Tape up the B/N button below the lens, that way you don’t end up shooting in Bulb mode half the time like I had been
* Get in the habit of always rolling on the film after each frame, otherwise you forget and end up with either double exposures or skipped frames
* What you see through the viewfinder only represents a portion of the centre of the negative that will be produced. You can add only something like another 50% to all 4 sides
Small & simple things these… but useful to know.
well those kind of tips are always useful to know…
I really like #3 of this batch, I think the subject really suits the Holga.
BTW how did you add the sepia-toning?These are lovely horse
No 4 is my fav from a great set
Great to see someone else’s perspective of Dublin through a Holga….
Keep it up
MVery good, strong set. It’s obvious your having fun with it all. Good to see.

Thanks peoples.
Dave – I just added a bit of sepia with Photoshop. I noticed Martin & Eddie do this so decided to give it a try.
