Nice set, Rob. I especially like the second and the last. Two questions:

What film?

How do you like the Holga?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ilford HP5 400. The Holga is cheap to buy, and fun to use, but for me the processing costs just as much as regular 120 film, and a lot more than 35mm film. So, I'm not going to be using it a lot. On the aesthetic side, it can give a good impression of old photies, especially after a little tweaking in the digital darkroom. Glad you like some, Brian. I quite like the third, with what looks like a spy walking behind the railings, top right.

As well as the compositions it's the blown out skies in the second and last that really appeal to me, Rob. So reminiscent of 19th C. foties.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Easy to achieve!

Nice set Rob, I really need to get one of these!

 

[Pete Askew]

What a great set Rob. Love the 'selective' blurring; almost like drops of water on the lens. I refuse to choose but numbers 1 and 5 are especially nice!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. Appreciated. I do like the Holga sometimes.

 

[Kev Pugh]

These are very nice Rob Like Pete for me it is difficult to select so I won't but on the right paper, printed these could be easily sold on, would make lovely periodesque postcards..........

Cheers, Kev. Could do with some dosh...
