The previous pictures were taken at a Potluck gathering of a bunch of local punks.
I came to the party loaded with a roll of expired Fuji velvia 35mm film and a roll of 35mm
Ilford Delta 3200. The camera was my trusty (though in the last few weeks it has become continuously less and less trustworthy!) Pentax K1000. I started in on the velvia as the light was out in full glory. For the majority of these shots I used a F=135/1:2.8 lens that allowed me to isolate subjects while staying out their space. As the light got low I switched to the 3200 film and faster lens. I am continuously blown away by the delta 3200 film. The man who sold me my first roll warned that this film was addictive, He was right I am now a full blown low light junkie.

Holgaroid with Polaroid 100 sepia film

Holgaroid on Fuji FP-100c film (saturation levels have been played with to get the exaggerated colors)

These three pictures are all the product of a homemade Holgaroid. Basically I tore down an Automatic polaroid 100 series camera and using an existing faceplate I was able to scrounge up, was able to attach the Holga to the front of the Polaroid camera back. You can find much more detailed instructions online. The one problem I have with the overal camera is that it doesn't expose the entire film. As you can see its a very small picture surface. But all in all I'm kind of proud of my project.  polaroid
