Artist's Comments

Fuji Provia ISO400.

Crossed in C-41. Converted to B&W and toned in PS.

Originally a much larger shot spread across 4 negatives, but the image was sliced in half at the developers. Scanning them to the same consistency has proven troublesome, but I'm endeavouring to produce the full-scale shot at some point soon.

In the meantime, this is half of the image, and even though it was sliced, I still quite like it.

EDIT: Thank you very, very much indeed to everyone who has added this shot to their :+fav:'s since it was featured as a DD. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the sheer volume of messages, and the system thinking I'm spamming when I try and post thanks on peoples pages, I'm not going to be able to thank you all in kind as I would've liked. The :+fav:'s don't go unappreciated though, so thank you once again. :peace: :ahoy:

Holga 62 by =Valimar is a truely experimental piece when it comes to camera, film, development and digital post-work. The result is a very amospheric piece of art. (Featured by `Staged)

Beautiful. The colors are amazing.


It has a very eerie feel to it. I think it's great.

I'm getting a Hwolga soon. I'm super excited. :]
:iconvalimar:
The original colour version looked quite nice, but it's amazing how when you strip the colour away images usually take on a different feeling.

Good luck with the holga, they're great fun! :nod:

You wouldn't worry so much about what people really thought of you if you knew just how seldom they actually do.

Yeah.

I think it was because they were so intent on fitting it into a sleeve that held all the negs. It might be done automatically by a machine, but I think I'll have to leave special instructions next time. For a professional place, it's disappointing.

i like the effect of the processing. adds to the mistiness of the scene.

the holga continues to astound me. i can't even believe that the same camera that gives me light leaks and out-of-focus everything also gives me shots like this.

you can tell them not to put the negs in a sleeve: it helps to be there the moment it comes out of the machine, as well. OR you could develop the C-41 yourself. it's a pain most of the time, but the process doesn't take as long as D-76 types.

my imagination is better than your acid trip.
:iconsulllivann:
Yeah. I love playing around with colors for that reason. It's great. :D

Thank youu. :]
Oh, I do have one question. Where do you get the 120 film developed? Do regular pharmacies do that kind of film?
:iconlost-mae:
love the depth in this one, cant wait till the full version =)
