Brighton and London by Holga

It took me a while, but now they are finally up, the photos I took with my Holga in London and Brighton back in May. The reason why it took me so long, apart from some issues with my aging scanner, was that I also re-arranged the set-up of the Holga page, and decided to try out a new version of the software I'm using to create the web pages (in case you're interested, I'm using Rapidweaver to create the web site, in combination with the Photographos and Photographos IV themes). The new version of Photographos offers some nice new features, such as a console to hide text and thumbnails and a good-looking mobile version of the pages, but it took me awhile to get the layout right. To cut a long story short, the new pages in the new layout are up since yesterday, and I hope you enjoy them.

A note on the films I used: I was trying out the new 120 films by Lomography. As you can see, the colours look great (better than Kodak, not quite as good as Fuji), but you also notice some light leaks on a few shots. Actually, on of the rolls unrolled in my hands as I unwrapped it - at least half the shots were waisted. Not so good... The black and white shots are from the trusted Ilford films - you can't go wrong there, still my favourite b&w films.

Polaroids from London and Brighton

I uploaded a selection of the polaroids I shot while visiting London and Brighton a couple of weeks ago. I alternated between colour and black & white films, using predominantly the black-frame 600 UV+ film, which has become my favourite black & white film. The weather alternated between sunny and stormy and rainy, so that I ended up with pics of blue skies as well as stormy seas....

New Polaroid Portraits

I brought back new portrait photographs taken with Polaroid cameras from a recent trip to the UK, as well as some new ones from Berlin, and posted them in the revised People in Polaroids set.

Impossible Project, the manufacturer of the new Polaroid films, published this short feature of mine on their 'Instant Travelog' blog, about my trip to India back in January, together with a selection of the Polaroids I shot there.[Click here to view]

Flipboard Magazine: People in Polaroids

If you are using the (great) Flipboard app on iOS or Android devices, you have noticed the app's new feature for creating and subscribing to so-called magazines, i.e. collections of links from the web that Flipboard users can create and share (if they wish), and which are presented in classy Flipboard style. I have started a public magazine myself which I call "People in Polaroids". It basically features people photography done with Polaroid or other instant cameras, and articles covering this type of photography. Here is the link:http://flip.it/7KL2s.
