This was one of my favorite shots from the recent Holgamod test roll. Aaron bought me my modified Holga for Christmas, and I never got around to testing it until last weekend. I expect that I’ll post in depth about it once I get another roll or two through it, just to get a feel for its little quirks and sweet spots.
I got my film developed locally, at Taylor Photo, as I’ve had one two too many rolls of film lost in the mail from mail-order shops online. The owner is a friendly and personable guy who knows photography (and also develops black and white!).
Once I get some anti-Newton ring glass for my scanner, I’ll save money by paying for processing only — no prints. Even with paying for prints, though, it’s likely that I’ll be burning through my stash of freezer-stored film a lot quicker than I’d expected.
