I have an annual state parks pass that I've not use much this past year. Yesterday, I decided to go to Little Talbot Island SP whether I felt like it or not! As it turned out, it was interesting to see the beach and the road to it on a weekday morning. Of course, I took my camera!

As interesting as using the Holga 120WPC is, the photographs I've made with it so far are nothing special beyond their novelty. I've taken my regular film camera with me too, and, though these images aren't particularly notable either, at least they're sharp and contrasty. The camera, incidentally, is a Pentax 67. Here is one I made in our side yard, and two I made at Ft. George Inlet after using the Holga.

Ah, the irony! The film I was using for the Holga 120WPC costs nine dollars and change per roll. The results with this 'toy' camera were just not worth that much money and time. However, today in the back of a cabinet I found two rolls of Kodak TMax 120 film that had expired in 2001, and got the best results yet! Go figure!! Here are two of the photographs:

A rather inauspicious outing in the neighborhood with the Holga 120WPC (Wide angle Pinhole Camera) because I forgot to take off the lens cap and most of the roll was blank! I can't treat this camera like any other I've ever used as EVERYTHING it does has to be done by me!! LOL! This photograph is the lone survivor! I noticed, too, that my shadow is in the center at the bottom. A truly mysterious selfie!

Today, I took the Holga wide angle pinhole to Deerwood, which is a large corporate park with a lot of natural space. I had more success with it this second time even though I almost left the lens cap on, but realized I'd done that just in time! Using this camera is a throwback to the early 20th century in a way, and it takes some getting used to. But, thanks to Photoshop, I was somewhat able to compensate for its limitations and adjust sharpness a good deal. (As there's no lens and no way to focus the pinhole, the sharpen tool is a necessity even though I dislike having to use it.) Here are three:
