Holga 135BC Test Roll (fresh Kodak Colorplus 200)

The Sto. Niño Church

Master Daniel asked me to test the Holga with a 12-shot film so that I can practice on the focusing of my new lomo camera. Since I wasn’ able to find one, I got a Kodak Colorplus 200 with 24 exposures instead.

I brought Hollah (yes, that’s her name) to the Carbon photo op last April 6, 2008. (We had fun, by the way!)

In my excitement, I decided to develop and convert the photos to digital right away. I was quite nervous when I brought the film to the developing center. This was my first time to load and unload a film to/from a cam, and er, I wasn’t really sure if I did it the right way. When the film was developed, I excitedly asked the lady in charge to hand me the negatives and see if there were really pictures on it. Haha! I was really ecstatic to see that there were! Sorry, I’m a noob!

(More photos after the jump)

Here are some of the first shots I took with the Holga. Brightness/Contrast settings are the only adjustments I made. Nothing more. No color manipulation. No cropping.

Please take note that no cross processing was done, so none of the characteristic funkiness is visible yet. But I love how the colors turned out! Surprisingly, this camera can take sharp pictures too!

I’m loving my Hollah! Lomo is love!
