Not a whole lot to
blog about this week. My schedule and the weather minimized my opportunities to
take pictures even though I have a Holga and another Brownie (both birthday
presents) to shoot test rolls with.
I did load the Holga
up with some Kodak Portra 400 and take a couple shots. Hopefully I’ll get to
finish the roll this weekend. The Brownie will have to wait for now.
I know I said I wasn’t
going to tape up the Holga for the first roll but after reading more about it I
realized that the little red plastic window on the back doesn’t really work for
modern films so I taped it up and only open it up when I am advancing the film.
I also put a couple pieces of tape on the back because the latches that hold it
on kept sliding and I was afraid it would come off. Light leaks are one thing
but the back coming off is quite another.
I got some pictures
back from The Dark Room that were taken a while back. Here’s one of my favorites, and yes, it has a
fire hydrant in it!
This one was shot on
Portra 400 with the Vivitar body using the 50mm lens set at f8. I don’t recall the
shutter speed but it was likely 1/125 or 1/250.
I took this same shot
yesterday with the Holga. It will be interesting to compare the two when I get
the Holga pictures back.
