How about some spooky pictures for Halloween?

I recently purchased a $20 Holga camera.  It shoots 120 film, and the quality is, well, interesting .  These shots are from the first roll:

I just thought I'd throw out some more shots from my cute blue camera and all it's plastic-ey goodness.

(yes, that's a light leak in the top right hand corner.  You learn to live with them rather than fight them when shooting with a toy camera).

Thanks for looking and Happy Friday Everyone!

I have to say, out of all my southwest Diana shots, this one has to by my favorite.

Taken in Utah during one of our "baths".

... and the surprises you get when you shoot in an editorial setting with a DianaF+.  This week for my editorial class i decided to take my DianaF+, the hotshoe flash adapter and a lot of gambling on whether or not I could get the transmitter for the strobe to work with the diana.  It did and my model and I had tons of fun shooting with it and my 35mm camera.

Today I'll show you the diana fun and maybe later the shots I got with my 35mm.  Now I'm going to enlighten you guys a bit about the diana.  These are not the sharpest crayons in the box, thanks to the wonderfulness of a plastic lens.  And they are not the most contrasty negatives you'll ever see.  So the results I have are the best that can be done without completely blowing out the highlights.  Also, the vignetting at the edges are natural on the film itself.  That being said, I hope you enjoy my Diana Fun!

Shot with Ilford 120 HP5 ISO 400 film.  I had to have ISO 400 due to the fact that diana's only have three f-stops (f22-f11) and two shutterspeeds (1/60 and bulb).  These were all shot at f11 at 1/60" with one umbrella strobe for lighting.  Negatives scanned in at school, levels and contrast in CS2.
