More Holga fun

    Here are a couple from Friday, only got 6 frames from the roll as I forgot to remove the lens cap :oops: :)
    Again way out of date, tri-x 400 in Rodinal 1:25

    lol, mark its sooo simple to do that!

    I never put the cap on in the first place.

    The one thing I had to get used to and still
    kind of struggle with is the viewfinder,
    it only shows about 80% of what the lens sees.

    nice images Mark.

    i think they could have filled the frame for
    more impact . . . they probaby looked better
    in the viewfinder !

    Thanks. Indeed more in the frame would be better. I agree with you on the viewfinder.
    There is another shot I took which isn’t at all what I saw, extra stuff around the edges.

    I need to be more careful of that… :)

    First thing you do when you open the Holga Box is to throw away the lens cap. If you want to avoid light leaks just keep it in the camera bag and take it in and out when you are about to shoot. I do like that Tri-x in the Holga but Gunns were out of stock last time I asked a week or two back. Especially like the second image, Holga and clouds are great.

    Your right Eddie, there is no need for a lens cap on a Holga :)

    I like the second one here Mark, the clouds shape completes it.

    Coincidently I got a Holga recently too, but haven’t taken it out for a walk yet.

    This nytimes article might be of some interest, if you haven’t seen it already.

    Like the second one a lot.

    And that Holga has got some great blur around the edges.
