Upper Butte Creek Falls during excursion number one with my Holga 120WPC last month. Interesting how extreme the vignetting turned out on this - not that I mind (as I'm generally a fan of vignetting). If I remember correctly, I decided to expose this for probably 120 seconds (or so) as it was pretty dark and rainy by the time I made it down to the falls.

Having this camera, and the view it gives me, makes me want to get back into hunting for waterfalls and revisiting all those that I haven't been to in a while.

This is the first exposure from the first roll of film through my new Holga 120WPC that I got for Christmas.

To be honest, I'm just a smidgen shy of astonishment that anything on the roll turned out at all - let alone the very first image. I was a bit skeptical (and hesitant) to send these first few rolls away for development as I figured it was akin to burning my money, but I was delighted this evening when I got both rolls back and all the images actually turned out.

Have a lot to work on still. I would like to get to the point where exposure and composition (no viewfinder) doesn't feel like absolute guesswork with a shrug of the shoulders and a cross of the fingers. And to figure out why the shutter often gets stuck open when I use a cable release. I also had a plan to scribble down my exposure time for each frame for future reference (that didn't happen, and I wish I had). Oh well, new challenges.

Anyway, here's picture number one of what will hopefully be many from this camera.

The view of three little shells.

Fields and skies and silhouettes.
