I like the reflection on your subject's spectacles. Interesting photo but perhaps just a bit too dark. Where is the light actually coming from?

@Svenedin The light is from an angel, damn holga missed again.....or it might of been a window. Thanks for your comment, might of over done the burn by half a stop. It is a bit under exposed, must of been a little too quick with my trigger finger.

@hobbes Thanks, ferri is a pretty weak mix and is sealed in a jar, so the smell isn't noticeable, cant say the same about the selenium.

@awty very hard to judge the exposure with a shot like that so you did very well. I’ve been experimenting with low light/night shots on bulb and the Ilford film reciprocity corrections have been useful. I know this is Kodak film but those numbers might help if you try something similar again. You could also bracket exposures but your subject might get tired of it.

Great separation of tones for a Holga. Good shot.

@Svenedin Thanks Steven. You can get a phone app with a reciprocity calculator with most films, also it will make adjustments for filters and bellows if needed. I use it all the time with the pinhole and long exposures on my other cameras. Holga has 2 speeds normal, what ever that is and bulb, which just keeps the shutter open as long as your finger is on the trigger, no cable release. So no telling what speed you actually have. I was just working with what I had. Thanks again.

@mfohl Thanks, the print is much better. I think the medium format helps compensate for the plastic lens.
