holga 35mm pinhole with b/w film.

These are the first test shots taken with my pinhole holga 35mm. The film used was the iso 400 HPT film.

Here are the scanned in negs, here the negs have appeared very grainy, which on the negative they do not appear to be, so i feel it may be the way in which i scanned the negs, i used the flatbeds rather then the normal b/w neg scanner that i normally do. I also noticed that even with the grainyness (caused by the scanner) the images have a really interesting blur to the images. this i really as it adds atmsophere to the images. while it was an experiment in black and white, the images i want to create for my final peice i would like to be colour. 

Some of the images didnt come out completely. the images around the newarke houses had a very harsh light and obviously some of the images are over blown in alot of the images which i will have to keep in mind with using this camera.

On the images below, as u can see the top image shows the noise i said caused by the scanners. The images below that are edited in photoshop to blur out the noise and it highlights the use of the blur in the images.

more then anything i need to experiment taking images in different light and to get the technique down to an art really. the images are not as contrasted as i normally like but i do like my black/white images to be very contrasted which can also be adjusted in photoshop using the digital scanning method and in the manual printing method.
