Trying out the new Holga

I finally brought out the new “green” Holga last week during my one and only visit to this year’s Iowa State Fair.  I picked up my roll of film yesterday and proceeded to digitize the neg’s.  Pretty much shooting photos of them on the light table, yes very low tech, but it works.  Out of 12 images, about 4 turned into a usable image.  The rest not really.  This Holga has a bulb setting and I tried it a few times just to see what I’d get.

I did try a footlong corn dog while at the fair, should’ve had the steak sandwich instead.

No state fair visit is complete without a photo of the Sky Gliders.

Our Chicago dog, Ginger was in for a visit, so we took her for a walk over at Water Works Park.  Of course the Holga came with.  Here is a photo of Ginger taken with a long exposure.

Working with film is great, except I don’t like the drive and the $5 I get charged for development.  Maybe I should buy some chemicals and develop at home.
