I received a new toy camera for Christmas and have had a roll of 120 film in it for the last couple of weeks. I had a few free minutes during the day earlier this week and was able to shoot the last two frames on the roll and get it developed. The new camera I got is the Holga 120PAN, which is a panoramic camera that photographs a 180 degree field of view. It uses 120 film and I have stated calling it the “Holgarama.”
The first roll of film through a toy camera is usually more of a test roll to see how the camera reacts while shooting. I used a roll of Kodak Ektar 100 film. I’m used to using film that is rated at 160 iso, so the film I used on this roll is a little slower which means it records less light.
Here is one of two frames from Rock Bridge State Park. This frame is shoot in the creek bed before it goes through the rock bridge. I like how this camera gives you a wide field of view. I really like the way the winter light streams through all of the trees and across the rocks. The rocks almost look like a mountain range. If you are ever in the Columbia area you should try to check out Rock Bridge State Park, it is a pretty cool spot.
