Rainbow Gardens, Seattle 2002

Camera: Holga (I think)
Film: Tri-X 320

Holga 135BC

I just received my Holga 135BC. I will have an out of the box video posted very soon.

A quick look at the Holga 135BC. This is a 35mm camera, built around the plastic lens from your basic Holga 120. It has almost all the same features.

Zone focussing with 4 symbols

2 shutter settings, N and B-setting (1/100 sec and B setting will hold shutter open for as long as you depress the shutter)

2 aperture settings, which amusingly enough, is EXACTLY like the Holga 120 cameras, which means there is really only one setting. Flipping the aperture setting only flips a large square opening behind the fixed aperture, so there is no change

Tripod Socket

Shutter Release Cable Socket in the Shutter release button

Hot shoe for flash

Japanese Tea Garden

This was taken at the Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco during our visit last spring. It's a beautiful garden, next to the new De Young museum in Golden Gate Park. The afternoon light was perfect.

Camera: Holga 120N Film: Tri-X 320, processed in D-76.

San Francisco Photos

Here are a couple of images shot during the trip to San Francisco. Both were shot with Holgas, a 120S and 120N. Outdoors photo was taken with Plus-X, the photo in Starbucks was taken with Tri-X 320.

Sleepless in Seattle

I haven't been getting enough sleep. I've been working on processing my film (2 latenighters, ending at 4am, Sunday and Monday). So far, I have 21 rolls done, and 2 left to do. Most all from the San Francisco trip from a couple of weeks ago. Last night, I was finally going to get some sleep, but then I was very excited about seeing some results, so I thought, I could spend an hour or two scanning a few frames. I was up until 4am, again!! I still have lots of film to scan, but tonight, I am going to bed early!
