Plastic Fantastic

Had a walk on the beach with my wife and my Holga. 12 photos taken during the middle of the day as an experiment. Trying to do the whole "don't think just shoot" concept.
YAAAAAAYYYYYY! HOLGA!!! (I finished my first roll a week ago, but have yet to work up the courage to send it in for processing. Ha ha!) This is just gorgeous!

@juliedduncan Thank you - seriously easy to develop your own film and really rewarding (cheaper too). I am sure your images will be awesome. I like my Holga now that it works.

Really? I will have to check that out on youTube! I've never developed my own prints, but am willing to learn. Thank you! :)

@juliedduncan I develop the negatives and scan the prints. It is quite rewarding. The initial layout might seem expensive - dark bag, developing tank, chemicals however I think it is well worth it. Also you can have your images the same day.

@juliedduncan @spanner just developed a roll of black and white film this morning for my son, pretty easy once you have the gear and have done the sequence a few times, took about 1/2 an hour all up. will scan later

@kali66 Nice - I am using a Canoscan 9000ii which I wasn't too pleased with until I invested in Silverfast 8 - which has changed the quality of the scans (for the better).

@spanner @kali66 I can see that I'm going to have to do some research and invest a few $$ to get going on developing, scanning, printing, etc. my own shots. Maybe this is the next step for me? Will see what happens! :)
