Post your recent Holga 120N shots here~!

Sure
Do a 1/4stop interval test print with a 4.5 grade filter to get the high lights just to hold. expose the print at the desired time, then switch to a grade 1 filter use a mask cut to the road, dodge that for another exposure while dodging the light part of the sky, then do a 2 stop vignette burn in. Process normally, wash, selenium for just enough time to get a colour change then, wash, bleach bath briefly like 5 secs, just to get a slight glow in the highlights, then refix, wash, then rebleach, wash, then sepia, wash.
I wont do such a heavy vignette on the actual print, seems people on the internet like a heavy vignette.
All Im doing is intensifying the scene, working the sun into the scene help make it......use your imagination.

 

Looks great! I love sun flares in Holga shots - they're much softer than what you get from regular cameras.
 

I like the unprocessed version. The processed one is too heavy... but that's just my opinion. Great light!
 
Thanks. Your original negative was already great and you made it even better while printing. That is some skills.
Unfortunately my capabilities get in the way of my probabilities so I keep my bin full. You keep practicing and you get a bit better over time......but the bin stays full,

You purist Andrew, theres no challenge in that. Printing for myself I would maintain the shadow detail, social media seems to prefer blocked up shadows.

LoL I don't consider myself a purist... Maybe 10 years ago, yes... and viewing work on these monitors can be bloody challenging. Keep doing what you're doing, awty!

Hi all, this is a small, irrelevant question but can anyone help me check if the shutter button rattles if you tilt the camera up and down? thanks
