    First Holga Photographs 

    Something missing

    Photographers

    I posted off my first batch of films to Spectrum Imaging on Wednesday and received the results in the post today. I’m very impressed with the speed of service – not to mention the price!

    My first batch of films consisted of two black and white Ilford XP2’s, two Fuji Velvia slide films for cross processing and a Fuji Superia standard colour film. They were all developed and scanned and put on to a single CD. The Superia shots seem a bit flat and boring – some of the supersampler shots that I took using a Agfa film from Klick (which was stupidly cheap!) looked much better. The performance of that film could have been down to the weather that day though (not sunny at all) so I shouldn’t really write it off.

    Even though I love how cross processed images look, my favourite shots out of this first batch are the black and white ones.

    The first set can be found here: My Holga photoset on Flickr

      …and I love the cross-processed shots more :) They’re great!

      Triffic set of shots all round. Again. Darn you.

    Oh my god Maureen, there's a weirdo outside the phone box

    The above photo is completely unrelated (I just don’t like not having a photo in a post, and it’s a recent favourite).

    Absolut Lomo 

    Absolutlomo

    Short version:

    Win an Absolut Lomo camera.

    Long version:

    Absolut, the vodka people from Sweden are running a competition at the moment called Absolut Lomo. I haven’t used a Lomo camera before but I will do shortly because Absolut are sending me two. I intend to have some fun with one of them – I’m definitely a child of the digital age when it comes to cameras so it’ll be a good experience for me. Hopefully I’ll get something that’s worth putting in to the competion.

    As for the second camera, that is up for grabs. If you take a shot and submit it to the Absolut gallery, post a link in your comment and I’ll pick my favourite and post the other camera to you. I’ll be posting my efforts at some point as well.

    I’ve also ordered a Supersampler from Ebay and will no doubt be posting some of the fruits from that at some point! I was navigating around the wall in the Absolut gallery and there were a few supersampler images on there that I really liked so I decided to take the plunge and give it a go.

    Update: The rules for the competition say… “The pictures are taken with a Lomo camera, and/or according to the rules of Lomography.” – so, even if you haven’t got a Lomo camera, you can enter – that being the case that makes my extra one easier to win!

    Update: The end date for this will be Sunday 25th February. I’ll choose the winner from the images posted in the comments and contact them to arrange sending the Holga. So, still over a week left!

      FANTASTIC!

      I’ve used and abused a few lomos before and they are great, fun, frustrating cameras to use, all at the same time.

      I look forward to seeing what you come up with :)

      I always seem to learn something new here. I had no idea what lomography was. Very cool!

      How did you get them to send you two?

    • publicenergy 6:53 pm on February 5, 2007 Permalink | Reply

      An email out of the blue offering them – I imagine they must have been searching Flickr to find me although quite what search criteria they had is anyone’s guess! I was initially suspicious – email and free usually equals danger! We’ll see anyway – if nothing else, it prompted me to order a silly camera from Ebay to have a play with :)

      [...] The Supersampler arrived pretty quickly, it was only Friday when I mentioned it in the Absolut Lomo post. I must say that it was very nicely packaged. The very retro looking plastic box contained the camera, a 36 exposure colour film, the manual and a lovely book containing photos taken with the camera. The packaging has already endeared me to the camera before I have even started using it. [...]

      I submitted this one to the competition – but will probably submit a few more as well…

      ey oop fella.

      I’ve just been reading the brief for the Absolut competition and it seems to me to insist that the photos should be related, or include, Absolut Vodka.

      Maybe I should buy some on the way home ;¬)

      There are four categories, only one of which is for the bottle so you don’t have to get completely legless to enter! ;)

      As promised, here I am with my shot. Follow the link for more info about how this came to be.

      [...] This particular photoshop montage is meant to emulate the fun style of Supersampler cameras. It is also my submission for the Absolut Lomo contest over at publicenergy. Dave, a fellow 9ruler and member of the photography community, is generously giving away a Holga as a prize for the best entry. Join in the fun! [...]

      [...] There will probably be more shots added to the Flickr Set below when I’ve gone through the rest of them. I’m also sat on an unfinished slide film inside the Supersampler – I’m hoping to finish that off this weekend and then get it developed at some point afterwards – I did have the first few of my films developed at Boots and the results were nice enough but they’re not the cheapest by a long way. I’ve had Spectrum Imaging in Newcastle recommended by a few people and they do seem very good value. So they’re probably going to get my Supersampler films from now on – along with a couple of medium format films out of that Absolut Holga (which you can still win until Sunday night!). [...]
