So yesterday my Pinhole 35mm holga arrived, today i took it, as well as my pentax super ME out. I used BW film in the holga as i think for now i want to focus on using b.w as its cheaper and maybe progress to colour once im more confident with using the pinhole. It was weird not having a zoom, nor having a focus ring for the pinhole. I shot a 24 exposures at the Newarke house musesum as well as the guild hall, which are both on my list of places to photograph. The exposures i wrote down in my notebook as a reference and im going tomorrow to develope and scan in the film to see how this works. I experimented with a range of times from under a second up to 7 seconds to see how they turn out and im excited to see if they work. My Super-me camera that stopped production in the 1980's gives a great old fashioned look to the images. I used a colour film in it as its the only thing i had in, (i had one bw and one colour in) but new how to use it so chose this for the images. i then got them printed on the way home. (ill scan and add the photos tomorrow when i have access to the neg scanner) These photos came out interesting, the focusing gives it a very strange effect and while the prints maybe a little to dark (had them processed in boots) the negs seem alright and im going to scan them digitially and see what i can do with them. I do love the effect you get on film but until i get used to working on it again (it has been a while) im going to continue on BW film, as i can process it myself and its cheaper to buy. Which is best just for experimentation.
