My Black and White 35mm Holga Photographs

This week I finally found time to get some of my exposed rolls of black and white film developed in a lab and to scan it at home yesterday. I love the excitement of shooting on film, not knowing what I am going to get and then being surprised as the photo appears on my screen. Also taking photographs with Holga (a toy camera with a plastic lens) makes it even more unpredictable, which is a nice way to relax and keep my creativity flowing.

In case you are interested: I didn’t do a lot of post processing on these photographs. I just slightly adjusted the contrast and did a little bit of cropping in Aperture to keep them as raw as possible. All the photos have been shot with a 35mm Holga on Ilford HP5 Plus – a black and white with ASA 400.
