Hello All,
A few weeks ago I posted a question about using the plastic Holga 120 camera. I'd read that light leaks could be a problem so wondered whether or not to cover it with black electrical tape to prevent this. I got suggestions to just shoot without the tape, which I did. I kept the loaded camera in a bag between shots to protect it as best I could.
Here are a few shots, taken with Ilford HP5 400 speed B&W film. There were minimal adjustments, mainly slightly increasing contrast and increasing highlight areas, except my dog given strong afternoon light. No sharpening or noise reduction. I like the interesting "toy" camera! As those of you who are shooting film have said, you really have to think before pressing the shutter, a good exercise in thoughtful shooting, especially with only 12 shots on the roll.
Thanks to all for earlier input.

Good ones. I like how you framed the walking woman with part of the sculpture in the second image.

Thanks for your comments, Will. The woman didn't want to walk into my "scene." I had urge her to go ahead!
Enjoyed your photos...here's one I shot with my Holga using double exposure.
I like your pictures but sorry I can't like your camera.

"I can't like your camera." An acquired taste, perhaps.
Wonderful takes all, and not a little talent as well. Thanks for sharing.
