John waiting for taxi to the airport. Taken with Holga on Fujichrom Provia 100F.
I bought this film in a pack of 10, so plenty of time to get used to it :) but these first experiments haven’t convinced me it’s worth the extra developing costs…
I have Holga taped up tightly but I don’t have the foam inserts in her at the moment that usually keep the film from winding too loosely & so there’s some major light leaks from when I unloaded the film. I like light leaks & what they add to some pictures but when the film is wound this loosely I think it the major cause of this dull washed out look. Having said that – I love the muted 70′s feel to this picture & that you can see the 4 from the film backing :)
I’m really disappointed that the photo lab I have been using wouldn’t cross process in C41 for me, so I’m looking for a new place to take my film – I’d even deal with the extra waiting to post them somewhere as long as I could be sure they wouldn’t colour correct the scans. Getting a scanner for 120 would be the best option but it’s not worth it before getting a new laptop that can handle the file sizes.

I quite like the effect of this photo – Mum said it looks vintage.
