I scanned a couple of the negatives from the roll of film that I put through
the Holga and posted them at: http://picasaweb.google.com/peeperphotos
It's the first time that I've photographed this type of subject but I think
they turned out well. What I find odd is that the prints are better than the
scans. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But I like the prints better.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get your scans to look more like your
prints? Oh, wait, is this (film scanning) OT on this mailing list?
Still doing a happy dance with my holga!
