even Holga gets the blues

These are all from the final roll of Holga snaps I took in WA back in January. I wasn't particularly trying to shoot blues, but I do like how these look all lined up. Things have been a little busy of late, which is why I've been a little slow on the blog/photo front. But with my Nikon point n shoot fixed, and four rolls of film ready to print after a weekend away in Heathcote, something tells me I won't be quiet for too long.

One week; three cameras. Part three: PENTAX, baby

Yes, that's right, three cameras. Digital, holga, and lastly, a clunky old Pentax MZ50 which I'd been loaned in the hopes that I could somehow magically diagnose and fix merely by shooting a few rolls of film with it. Well, given that I'd never used an SLR camera before, let alone this specific one, I am given little warm fuzzies every time I look at the prints from those rolls of film. Very pleased indeed. Unfortunately, proving the camera isn't in fact broken meant the original owner wanted it back, leaving me scouring ebay for MZ50s to no avail. Soon, little Pentax, soon you will be mine...

One week; three cameras. Part Two: Holga!

 

Continuing the theme of COLOUR! in! excessive! doses!, this is the second installment of my photos from last month's trip to Perth. These were all taken on my trusty little Holga, aka the world's chunkiest, cutest, most crowd-pleasing little lo-fi camera. Ahhh, Holga. You make everyone happy.
                     

NB: Perth pics from the other two of the three: my digital camera and Pentax slr.

One week; three cameras. Part One: digital

Yes, that's right, I took not one, not two, but three cameras with my on my holiday to Perth. In my defense, the third - and the largest of the three - was loaned to me in the hopes that I could, through using it, diagnose why its owner had managed to shoot an entire roll of photos with a black haze over them. Ten seconds on Google and a PDF manual later, I had indeed diagnosed the problem, and the Pentax MZ-50 and I got along swimmingly. These shots however, are from my little Nikon digital camera, which at present is not getting along with me well at all. Allegedly it has been suffering from a lens error ever since I got back from Rottnest Island. I am in somewhat of a state of denial about said failure, and am hoping that little Nikon will get its groove back of its own accord. Meanwhile, I am snapping away on film cameras, and thanking my lucky stars that I had the extreme foresight to take multiple cameras on holiday. Ha!
