more film

I got some more films back and I love them.  The negatives are gorgeous but scans themselves weren’t brilliant.  A little nip and a tuck and some removal of dust and fluff from the jpegs and I have a load of shots I’m really happy with. I took a bunch with the Holga again – its one of those cameras that when you get…

A.T.G.A.N.I

All The Gear and No Idea. Its a common problem.  A newbie rocks up with many thousands of dollars of shiny new kit and has not a clue what to do with it. You can find examples of this everywhere and in sports and hobbies of all kinds.  Its an issue where people have lots of disposable income and somebody tells them (or maybe…

Holga and Hasselblad

So, as you are aware, I got my films back – I was especially looking forward to seeing the shots from the Hasselblad, given I paid a small fortune for it and am betting the farm that it’ll produce images that will stir my creative soul.   I know, not too much pressure then. First, the Holga, which never ceases to surprise and amaze Next,…

girl on film

An homage to the missus. Taken with the Holga and (mostly awful) Diana Mini. looking good, wifey 🙂

more film pics

Some more scans of the latest films that came back Perth from Kings Park – Holga + Kodak Portra 400 Perth – Murray St Mall – Holga + Kodak Portra 400 Sunset, Warnbro, WA – Holga wide angle pinhole + Portra 160 – this is really way underexposed, but I love the potential this camera has for sunsets. Busselton, Western Australia – Holga wide…

films are back

Been sat on the latest lot of films for ages and I finally posted them off last week to get developed I’ve been dreading it a bit – as I had a couple of Holga back opening incidents and the Diana Mini has frustrated me endlessly. Jay had a couple of films in there too, including from the equally brilliant and irritating Supersampler. I…

more holga goodness

so, some of the other half – temptingly tasty shots with the Holga and Trip 35. These were taken in yee olde towne of York, WA. We only took film shots whilst we were there – so its good that a few came out well then 🙂 I’m going to have to either calibrate the scanner or buy a decent negative scanner – I’m…

glossy

The only trouble with the latest batch of films is they are printed on glossy paper. It makes them look beautiful, so sleek, rich and deep, but they pick up fingerprints like a brand new black iPod. Anyway – I’ve scanned them all in now, Holga and Trip and I have to say, I’m really happy with them. No post processing on them, only…

mixed bag

The films were an interesting bunch. The Olympus Trip 35 shots were almost too good. Sharp, clear, well exposed, consistent. So we have a load of pictures that look like good but general snapshots. This was the most arty of them. I’ll scan more this weekend. The Holga shots were a mixed bag, well, mine were – Jay’s black and whites were brilliant this…

Holga-tastic

I finally (after weeks of being lazy) posted off the latest batch of Holga and 35mm film to be processed. Should get it all back next week, thats 9 films (5×120 and 4x35mil) – hopefully one or two shots are decent in that batch! I know there’s going to be a few duff ones as the back came off the Holga twice, so I…
