Bathroom light

A possibly familiar composition today for anyone who’s read earlier posts on my blog. It’s a photo of our bathroom window taken from a similar position as the Holga shot in this post from back in March.

I think I prefer the Holga photo if I’m honest, with it’s low-key look and inky black shadows, but I like this one too. The pair of spectacles adds something and the hint of green foliage through the frosted glass window pane is nice as well.

FP4Party

I have three entries for this year’s FP4Party. All taken with my Holga 120N.

I didn’t hold a lot of hope for the roll I shot – I felt I was shooting stuff for the sake of it, so was very pleased to find I was very happy with some of the photographs. All three here were taken around the house while trying to finish off the roll – ostensibly the previous week should have been “shoot” week, and I did make some pictures on this same roll then, but work and the weather prevailed so I had the defer some of the shots – happily, I got some nice light on the day in question, even if I didn’t step foot out of the house.

I like the low key look I got, and the Holga, with it’s single-speed shutter and very limited aperture control, has once again delivered in spades.

Of the three, I like the first best. The second is nice, but I’m not sure about the composition – I think I should have moved the vase to the left or right to avoid it blocking the lamp standard. The third is nice too.
