Here’s the next installment in the continuing adventures of
me and my Holga WPC. In my last post I briefly explained a little about my
initial experiences with this amazing camera shooting with Kodak Portra 400
color film. I took a total of six shots and they all came out. That is, the
exposures were correct. Out of the six there were four “keepers.” The other two
are okay but the compositions didn’t turn out as I had hoped.
The photograph above is my favorite of the four keepers.
This is actually the reason I went to visit the Chalmette Battlefield where the
Battle of New Orleans was fought in 1815. I had been there previously and taken
an incredible shot of the monument with my digital camera. I was hoping to
duplicate the image with the Holga WPC but the sky was overcast and rainy so
the lighting was all wrong. I went off to take some shots of the canons instead.
Eventually I turned around to behold what you see above.
This was not the image I went there to get but sometimes serendipity
provides a better reward. I can’t wait to see what else this camera can do.
