Merseyside mono

Had to visit someone next to the park and took 5 minutes to take a shot of the pavillion in the middle. A dog walked in to see what was going on and I got this.


Amidst an empty Southport beach, I also shot this on the K10D and converted to mono. Shot with the grad for the sky detail - having to shoot most things with it on as I can't get it off the lens....

Holga



Picked up a couple of Holgas from Ebay. The plastic lens version - 120N - is a real horror to get in focus and it gives virtually no contrast in the negs. It does however give the real dreamlike 100 year old quality.
The glass lens - 120GN - however is a little marvel but the voice in the back of my head says it's too high tech with the glass lens and it's images too sharp and well developed. It's still a $20 toy camera right??
