Abandoned Farm, Svensen Island

Comments, ratings appreciated on this toned, Holga shot. This was

taken with a plastic (including plastic lens) Holga 120 camera. The

negative was scanned, then I toned the image and did a little

dodging and burning. However, this is fairly close to what the

original negative would have printed. Toning was meant to make this

look like an older photograph--perhaps from the early 20th century.

Robert, I truly like this piece.

Excellent job, it does look like an early photo excepting the slight colouring visble in the grass and path area at the bottom - which further enhances the image.

Only quibble I have is the frame does not suit the image perfectly.

Really nice Bob! You've got me eyeballing MY Holga again. The tones are beautiful, and your decision to use the Holga with this subject was a good one.

Faustus makes a good point about the frame, a shot like this may be at its best with no frame at all!

nice grain and colors which created the unique mood

Thanks everyone for the comments and ratings. I was really happy with how this one turned out. Every shot with a Holga is an adventure--you can't tell for sure what you're going to get.

Knicki, I appreciate your kind words.

Man, you're right about the frame. I'm trying something less pretentious on future Holga shots.

Bob, when you're not working too hard in the studio, I hope you go out and play with your Holga--they are fun cameras. So far, I've only shot two rolls, but plan to keep in the camera bag for a while.
