The results

I developed roll three last night and suffice to say I was dissapopinted. My disappointment lie not with my holga but in my self as I think I left the lens cover on for the last 10 pictures.

I can't confirm it but I can't think of another reason why 10/16ths of the roll was simply not exposed. The shutter worked fine.

The first two rolls, while yileding actual images, were a little disappointing because of the lack of contrast. They seemed to be over-exposed although it might have been the negatives being underdevloped. Its hard to guage 68 degrees with your finger from the tap in a condo.

The good news was that with the increased film developer time the 6 images that were taken actually seem to look nice. I haven't been able to scan them in yet so I can upload them but they had much more contrast and good balance between blacks and white.

I may go ahead and take some more tonight but sense I am going out to Sidetracks in Ypsilanti I might not have enough time to develop the film. We'll see...I'll let you know.

And keep me posted on your experiences, I'd love to hear 'em.
