Tips for using 35mm film in a Holga 120N
I used my Holga for the very first time a few weeks back and read a lot of articles about 'hacking' the camera to take 35mm film. I took about 18 shots and couldn't wait to get the photos developed and have prints made. I went to three different specialist photo shops trying to get prints made! The first place kindly processed the film free of charge but it was a nightmare trying to get prints made. In the end I paid £15 for 17 prints of which the image was cropped and half the picture was missing, disappointing to say the least! I would love for someone to tell me if I did something wrong! I've read that it's possible to invest in a film scanner but at the moment that's definitely not possible.Here are the images anyway, I do love the effects especially the double exposures, it's just such a shame about the cropping, if anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it!
