Holga In The Countryside

[Tom Dunne]

Somewhere in Wales. Thought it would show full image but it seems you will have to click to view it.

That I like. I do not usually like a Holga, but never mind the tool, it's the outcome we should concentrate on.

 

[Pete Askew]

I like these very much Tom and the triptych works well, like the one of Cork. I do like the aesthetic that the Holga gives and here it fits well with an, apparently, damp and misty place. I also like the framing you have employed that helps give a felling of the place without being overly literal. They have a sight feeling of foreboding which I like very much especially because to the implied connection between the 3 images - a storyline of sorts, but not fully revealed.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Excellent Tom, the mood I get from these are very much as I see the west country here, as Wales as well. Dank and still, the weather that sometimes gets to the bones.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks men. Indeed, it is that foreboding mood that makes the Holga so attractive. They really have their own style.

 

[Vic Shaw]

Nice, I really am thinking about getting one.

 

[Barry Keavney]

"foreboding" - That's it. But serene? Really nice tone.
And a nice composition of the three, there. I like how the white house reaches towards the corners of the last frame.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Beautiful.

 

[Brian Moore]

Very nice, Tom. The one of the lake seems medieval to me,...as if the Lady of the Lake is about to surface.

 

[Pete Askew]

Ah yes, "Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?

 

[Paul Lange]

Nicely done. The movie strip feel makes me wonder what the story is about these photos and how they are linked. The general Holga effect makes it even the more mysterious.

 

[Rense Haveman]

Yeah, great! I love the Holga....

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks again everybody. A couple of years back I used to frequent another forum and it was rare to receive any interest in the Holga.
So it is nice that so many here enjoy the Holga results.

Blah! What would they know. Clearly not much.
