Water's Edge

Been playing around with the Holga and color film this summer. I like the impressionistic way it renders summer colors. This is a scan from a lab generated contact sheet.

Paper & Developer
C-print from enlarged from contact sheet. Still need to wrap my head around color printing, which I plan to do this fall/winter
This is great. I wish those that dismiss Holga/Diana work could see it. It would certainly change some minds.
 
Beautiful, Suzanne! Great picture of summer, light, and play.
 
i keep coming back to this suzanne ...
the light is so soft and hard at the same time ...
i hope you continue with this camera and with color film !

Thank you, both!! I've been shooting exclusively with the Holga and color film this summer. Hope to maybe pull together a small book of this work... at the pool, amusement parks, beaches, baseball games... all the places I never liked how they worked with b/w and the bigger "better" cameras!!
 
Thank you, both!! No... Katie... keep it and use it a lot!!! That seems to be the only way... I've only just started using the Holga this summer, and I love this picture, but I have a made of images that are total failures. I'm convinced that without the failures, I'd never make the gems!! Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
