Hello Deer

Another Holga shot from the wildlife park... the deer were not dangerous so I rolled down the window! (I'm such a rebel)



Fallow Deer, African Lion Safari
Ontario, Canada, August 2009


Anyone know what those little dots are at the top? Is that from the film sprockets? I've never had that show up before on my Holga photos.

  2. Jen - how old was your film? It almost looks like a sort of "impression" from the paper lining of the film. (I worked in a pro photo lab for a few years) - that format shouldn't have holes so that's my only idea.

    Great shot - I hope you use one in the next Photo of the Week feature! :)

  3. Ok, another possibility for the spots - a bit of moisture before the film was processed? It's almost too regular to be water spots acquired during processing, but that's another possibility. Ok, I think that's all my ideas on that point now. ;) Hard to say without seeing the film in person.

  4. I haven't shot enough film to know what's supposed to be there, but I don't think those are :-)

    Maybe smudges made by advancing the film. Check your film rollers.

  5. I think it is in fact from the paper. I've had a similar effect on one roll I shot in Canada last year, and only on two shots. Kinda weird, but I'm digging the results: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ipom/2782969129/

  6. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote film sprockets lol... I blame jet lag!

    Thanks for the thoughts everyone - maybe the film got exposed to humidity or something on its way to me, I think I ordered that batch off of ebay.
