Holga Near The Sea

[Tom Dunne]

This is probably the best quality image my totally unpredictable Holga has produced. Generally the Holgas need a bit of TLC in PP but this has none other than to remove some dust from the sky.

Super stuff Tom and the lens drop-off and the composition work so well together. Rather like Brian's shot of the ceramics shop.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I agree with you, Tom. Really interesting photo. I love the effect.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks Rob and Pete.
Yes it has that structural layout very similar to Brians shop photo. I never copped this and now that you mention it of course, it is pretty obvious. Great connection you made there Pete.

 

[Tom Dunne]

... and I now notice a Julian/Megavissey feel to it too.

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, but with a slight air of mystery to it.

My one was also taken at a tiny little fishing village, Ballycotton in Co. Cork with just a glimpse of the little harbour.

 

[Pete Askew]

Ah, but just after the mass alien abduction!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

It could be titled a Cornish village by the sea and not questioned . Another Holga triumph.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Many thanks Julian.

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely, Tom. (Again I ask,...why do we want to shoot with anything else? )

What film, by the way?
