Little Imperfections

I finally finished my first roll of film in my new Holga camera last week, and this week picked up the prints. I was hoping for some quirky imperfections, and boy, did I get them!

A couple of pictures should probably go right into the garbage can, they just didn't turn out at all and I had to squint to even remember what I had taken a picture of.

But a couple of them were decent, imperfect, and gave me a great lesson is using the camera. For instance: This camera needs LOTS of light; anything that happens to be in the corner will be blurry and soft; and I need to back away from my subject just a little.

I've just put another roll of fresh film in. I can't wait to see what comes out next!

The shot you see here is of the backyard tree that I photographed for a whole year. I thought shooting it on film would give me a good point of comparison.
