Horses - Or Horse Suggestions

[Rense Haveman]

The Holga 60mm (on my Pentax K-5) is not the sharpest lens ever - it wasn't meant to. But with the tele adapter (2.5x) fuzziness is multiplied too. Especially on the edges. Which extent to the center almost.

What an interesting image! Not sure what to make of it. I like it, then I'm not so sure, then I like it again....

I like it Rense simply because I shouldn't........

 

[Pete Askew]

I really like the fuzzy storminess of the image and the slightly voyeuristic feel it gives to the image. And I like the horses moving away from the water (are they wild?). Just a shame that there is that one facing the other way. Even so, I like it.

I think it works really well, especially love the fact there's a number of different coloured horses in the scene.

I'm not sure this would work as well as a 'normal' image.

I think its a cool shot. Unlike Pete, I like the fact that the one horse is facing the camera. The colors are lovely too, with the grays top and bottom split across the middle by the greens and browns.

Rense you have inspired me to shoot a roll of Ektar with my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash Model with the flipped lens. I think I'll do that this weekend.

 

[Paul Lange]

Very nice and quite different too. I think the band of dark sky with the similar coloured water below balances the image.

Thanks Guys! This lens has its quirks, but I love shooting with it!
