Holga 120N

I recently treated myself to this relatively cheap plastic box, and I love it! It's fun to use, very different from my 35 mm cameras, where I have control over all of the settings. The Holga has one shutter speed, two apertures, four "optimal" focusing distances, and a very unique way of seeing the world. Here are some images from my first two rolls of film.

Adventures in push processing

A small, somewhat incoherent collection from an experimental roll of Ilford HP5+ 400, shot at 1600 and pushed two stops in development. It was a fun experiment -- I feel like I learned a lot about what lighting conditions are optimal for this technique (because many of the shots turned out terribly!). It turns out that overcast, rainy days aren't the best. Also, because I mostly use 400 speed film, it was fun to be able to shoot a lot more things inside during the evening. I'll definitely be trying this out again!

Fishermen's Cove 3.0: B&W

I promise, this is the last of these (Kodak Tri-X 400).

Fishermen's Cove, NS: Round 2 (Fuji Pro 400H)

I took a lot of pictures on our visit here. The first post I made was all digital, taken with my Pentax k-x. These are all from a Nikon FE film camera loaded with Fuji Pro 400H. I'll probably make a third post with some black and white film shots once I get them back! Sorry for the foggy overload (but not really)


p.s. some of the photos were taken with a 28-80mm Makinon lens that had some crazy vignetting towards the 80 range (i.e., that wasn't Photoshop!)
