This is one lovely shot Michaelle. I've never played with the Holga, but this picture is motivating me to check it out. I love the contrast in this shot.

Michaelle, thanks for your encouragement on the Holga. You are right, I'm realllllllllly having fun. The Ilford 3200 film was a suggestion from a photographer that teaches at a nearby art school. He also suggested HP+ 400, which I seem to have better luck with. I tried the TMax but results were too grainy for me.
I just got a Lubitel in the mail from Russia (www.quadrobuy.com) for less than $50 and tried one roll of film over the weekend. The negs that did turn out (I was pushing the wrong buttons and this one actually has some aperture and shutter speed settings -- better get out Photography for Dummies book, again) were worse than my Holga. I'll get it though, eventually. I've been processing my own prints and that is a real joy. I go for heavy contrast and am very picky on focus as I do that all day for a living with color digital images. I love a black black and a white with a hint of gray. I'm such a geek I even look at the numbers (ink density) in Photoshop.
This photo of yours seems to have the same area of light leak as my holga and because different holgas leak differently I'm told that many shooters have more than 2 or 3 plastic boxes. They use the one that leaks in the best spot for the shot they're after.
Also, love your website.

Michaelle,
Got to love the Holga! Not much to say because not much you can change on them. I like this shot a lot.. well done.

Another Holga fan! I'm just starting to appreciate what can be achieved with this funny plastic camera with the crappy lens. This is a perfect setting for this toy, lots of contrast and mysterious shadows. Forest settings are the best. Just when I think my Holga pics are a lost cause one shows up that amazes me. I guess 1 out of a roll of 12 isn't bad, the same can be said for any roll of film from any camera I guess. This is a wonderful pic and I look forward to more in this cheap medium format from you.

Yes, I agree with Jeanne in all she says... This has such terrific atmosphere, moody and serene, like a glimpse into a bygone era... Absolutely beautiful, Michaelle

Great grass!!! High contrast stuff like this always shines with a Holga, I think. The whole thing has a wonderful surreal feel to it. There's a great trio on the left, branch, bush and apple tree bending toward them -- like a secret society meeting back there -- very nice!
