    I finally got the roll i’ve exposed in switzerland!

    C&C welcome

    BTW: dublin camera exchange took 1 week to develop this, i think i’m gonna start developing stuff on my own, is gonna be tough :)

    No, not tough at all, and you’ll get all your questions answered here, if you run into difficulties-

    That’s a pretty serious vignette-
    have you done something to your camera?
    Or is it just a high contrast scan or processing?

    Very totemic, is that sculpture or driftwood?

    It was a *VERY* cloudy day, not a day for holga i guess, but i said f**k it, IM GONNA SHOT ANYWAY.
    when i got the roll the pictures were very grey… just passed them in gimp thru a white balance, played with leveling and netrual gradient.
    so yes i guess the strong vignette is due to post processing.

    also i’ve found some horizontal scratches on the film…

    check this out at full resolution, not a very good picture but i like the oldish style and also i do care a lot of hte people in the picture :)

    maybe the mask inside the camera (the one you use to choose between 6×6 and the rectangular format) is not perfectly fixed?

    ah, and yes, that was just driftwood, if you look it better it seems like a man sitting :)

    Nose Oil for the scratches !!! according to Mr.7

    I really like this even with the vignette!
    there is something very eyecatching about that
    lump of wood, looks like a figure.

    nice holga shot.

    Though I wouldn’t blame you for not trusting both me and Wikipedia…

    Scratches become more apparent on underexposed negs,
    and are usually caused by the transport mechanism of the processing or scanning machine-
    though it’s unusual on b&w…

    Bringing it to the attention of the lab might help for next time,
    though it might be easier to just try another lab altogether-

    I once heard somebody here mention that Conns was good, for colour…

    I like this a lot.

    I particularly like that it looks like a man sitting, sunning himself.

    You just came across it like this?

    Nice work,

    joseph, i only have to beat my laziness to start this :)
    problem is i dont have a dry, quite and dust-proof place at home.
    i could buy a changing bag and all the stuff but dont have a good place where to dry the film…
    do you know a cheap and good place where i can by all the stuff? Gunns?
    a list of stuff to buy?

    Developing tank
    Measuring Jug
    Thermometer
    Developing solution
    Fixing Solution (Fixer)

    any particular dev/fixer suggested? how much do they cost?

    other stuff:

    Clothes Pegs
    A pair of scissors
    A clock
