Inspired By: The Littlest Holga

2 Comments

You can follow The Littlest Holga on Twitter (@Littlest_Holga).  Probably the most successful thing I’ve ever done with on-line photography was sending a Purple Fluorescent Holga to @Givemeabiscuit (on Twitter) as part of my first EMULSIVE Secret Santa.  Half serious and half a joke, Holga was at that time going out of business.  So I thought it would be a good gift.

Now Littlest Holga travels the world making fun and fabulous images.  Holga was my introduction to medium format during an Experimental Photography class in Monterey.  I was so inspired by Holga that I chose to use it for my first 6 months of the 52 Rolls Project.  So here are a few of my recent Holga Favorites…..

And Early Holgas from that Experimental Photography Class:

My home garden is blooming….time to move outside and work on some local B&W Flower Portraits.

 

P.S. : I will actually have more B&W flowers coming in August. Developed a roll recently that is all flowers from my garden.

Kodak ColorPlus 200 comparison to Kodak E100 in the Cactus Garden

Leave a comment

I decided to use Kodak Color Plus 200 for my Frugal Film Project.  However, I didn’t have the camera that I planned to use with me in Arizona.  So I did a preliminary film test using my Minolta X-700.  Here I present side by side color rendering examples from both films:

For all of these examples, Kodak E100 (@EI 125) is on the left and Kodak ColorPlus 200 is on the right.

Here I don’t think I’m showing precisely the same orange cactus flower; but it gives you an idea.

As with my previous experience all of the E100 is colder. And we know I prefer the warmer colors…………

My Father’s camera was the J33, a smaller version of the J66.  We traditionally had at least an annual Ester Parade Photo taken on our front steps……This one from 1962…Me 2 years old, brother Kevin on the left and Wesley on the right.  Seems like only Kevin was cheery that day.
