As regular readers will be aware I’m a big fan of holga cameras. Cheap, plastic, terrible build quality, back prone to falling off mid roll two settings (sunny or shady) and with a crappy lens to boot.
I shot this last month whilst working on some pictures to use to make either gum bichromate prints or more likely in the short term, cyanotypes. I’m increasingly attracted to lo- fi and imperfections in prints. And I want to be able to hold something hand made, not just release pictures into the ether.
Anyway I figure I must have found a third hidden setting on the holga, the “movie star” setting!
Tri X shot in daylight at something like f11 and 1/100th of a second and stand developed in rodinal for an hour because it was probably hugely under exposed.
You did a wonderful job on tri-x using Rodinal. Makes me want to dig out Holga and brat her into submission.
Thanks Eric! M6TTL (0.85 viewfinder) and zeiss sonar 50mm f1.5. Seems to be my “go to” for pretty much everything, bar the holga.
