Week 46: The adventures in Film...


This was my weapon of choice. The Holga 120N.

So since I was on a little hiatus but not really more like a little break, I decide to work on my photography skill just a little bit and try my hand at film. I recently pick up a Holga on CL for cheap and got a roll of 120 film. My original plan was to go to Bellagio or something and take some pictures there. But since my foot was bother me I didn't want to go there limping around. So my location of choice was our local Target. I had to go there anyway to pick up some stuff.

The Holga is a pretty simple camera. No batteries needed, just load the film and start snapping away. So I basically just worked on composition. I didn't know what the shutter speed was or how big the aperture was. It really was just point and shoot. After developing the film, I came to the conclusion that I need more light or higher speed film. Out of 12 exposures I got 10 images, I think I messed up loading the film in at first. Some are okay but in general just dark.

Don't mind the scan. My scanner is a cheap one with some dust on it. I didn't know it till I looked at the pictures.


This is the picture of the Holga on the iPhone.


Not even Thanksgiving yet but the Christmas Trees are up already.


More Decorations.


And of course I had to take pictures of my beloved Spam.

So Film is pretty interesting. I'm still going to work with film and with the Holga. I do like how the images have that vintage look. I already have another roll of 120 color film. And I have a number of 35mm film which on is in the camera already.

The Adventure in Film - to be continued...

I did sneak in a shoot on Friday the 20th with Ashley Liberty at a Familiar spot.


That's it for now. PEACE!!
