Becky Lynn,
You cannot expect your scanned negatives to look like your prints.
You are looking at your scans on a computer screen and your prints,
well, on paper. Never the twain shall meet! Scan your film, don't
photograph your prints.
So you folks out there, look at Becky Lynn's scanned negative Holga
photos that she posted and stop and think... if you were in that room
with a Holga, would you have even thought of taking those pictures?
And if you did, would they have looked like anything close to what
Becky Lynn has produced? In my case, the answers are no and no!
I'm really jealous of your talent Becky Lynn!!!
:-)

I scanned a couple of the negatives from the roll of film that I put
through the Holga and posted them at:

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!
