Nice job Robert. Holgas are great cameras. Try shooting with Tri-X 320 rather than the 400. It tends to give a bit more contrast and a little more of a punch to Holga photos.

Try some portraiture with it. Just ask some random people to stop for a sec and look at the camera.

Hey that parade looks a bit like the redmond parade which looked a bit like the grants pass parade.

Mike, I'll try the 320 and see how I like it. Thanks for stopping by.

 

Knicki, the parade featured lots of military and emergency vehicles, a few kids on horseback, a few old cars and that's about it--not even a marching band. They were all throwing candy which was a hit with my kids.

Thanks, Laurie, for your comment. The parade was really pathetic--not cute at all. No kids on bicycles. No marching band. Nuttin'.

not even little baton twirlers? even redmond had those. At least you had trucks.

I like how the toning and the darkening around the corners create an old-fashioned feel to the image, and how this contrasts with the shaven headed big guy and the very 2000's truck. Depth of field is nice too, and I like how the paint stripe on the street sets the eye off down the line of spectators. Best, Jeremy
