Another film out of the Holga

Thanks to the processing and scanning skills of my friendly Scottish landscape photographer I have the results of the most recent film from my Holga 120GN online:

Soon It Will Be Clear


If I Know One Thing


Flat Bed


Holga South of Birthorpe


Holga in Grantham - 2009-06-06
That was another roll of Ilford HP+ 400 and, once again, I'm very happy with the results. I think I'm probably more keen on sticking with Fuji Provia 400X in the future, mainly because I feel, for some unknown reason, that colour does the Holga more justice.

All Set With the Zero Image 2000

The postie came today, carrying a parcel from 7DayShop:

The main thing being that I've now got some film to use with my Zero Image 2000 so I'm all set for when I've got the time (and the weather is playing ball).

And, as you can see, I found a dinky little case and a nice soft bag to keep it in when I'm wandering about, or when it's in storage waiting for its next outing.

Hopefully the first outing will be real soon.

New Toy: Zero Image 2000

Today I took delivery of a new photographic toy. A Zero Image 2000 pinhole camera:

I've been considering a pinhole camera for a while and I'd decided that, given that I already own a couple of medium-format film cameras anyway, a medium-format pinhole was the obvious choice.

I probably won't get to use it for at least a week as I've only just ordered some film for it. I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

Holga in Sleaford and Grantham

Last night I finished processing and uploading images from the latest roll of film through my Holga 120GN. The photographs were taken around Sleaford and Grantham:

Holga Around The Hub

Off Carre Street

No More DIY

Holga in Grantham
Once again I'm really pleased with the results. The Holga really is a great little camera and all kinds of fun to use. The more I use it the more I'm glad I cracked and got one.

And, as always, thanks to go my friendly Scottish landscape photographer for the processing and scanning.

Second Roll of Colour Images From the Holga

Following on from yesterday's set of images, I've now finished processing and uploading the results from the second roll of Fuji Provia 400X through the Holga 120GN:

Orange Swing

Holga Sunsets

Folkingham Road

Breakthrough

Somewhere Near Birthorpe
Overall I'm please with the results from both rolls of 400X. I'll be using it, and the Holga, some more at some point soon.

First Colour Images From the Holga 120GN

I've just finished processing and uploading images taken on the first roll of Fuji Provia 400X that I've put through the Holga 120GN. On the whole the results are okay. Some of the shots were a little over-exposed (I've "rescued" them with a little extreme and "Holgaesque" post-processing) but that's to be expected if you head out in bright sunlight with ISO 400 film (even at f/13). Those with a keen eye will note that there's only 11 images in the sets that follow rather than 12. One of them is a family photo so doesn't go on the site.

Morning Walk In Bourne

Wildcards

Oseby Lane

Industrial Landscape

Overwhelming

Find Another Use

Objects In Space

A little departure from the norm for me. A set of photographs, but not taken with any of my cameras. I decided to start a series of still life images using my ageing flatbed scanner as the camera. The result is Objects In Space.

Sunset Walk Last Night

Last night I took the EOS 400D and the Holga 120GN out for a walk up the road to Birthorpe and back. Along the way I managed to capture some fairly dramatic skies. You can see the 400D results over here — you'll have to wait for the Holga results, obviously. :-)
