So I finally (finally) got all my rolls of film developed – including several from our trip to Alaska more than a year ago!
This first chunk is from my Holga – a medium format ‘toy camera’. I’m still learning how to use it well, but I love the rich colors that showed up in these images….
This second part is from my Diana Mini – another ‘toy camera’ but one that takes 35 mm film. This camera has 2 settings – and the whole time I used the split (2 images per frame). Again, I am just learning how to use this camera, but so fun!
Clearly I need to work on holding my hands steady. So many of these are blurry!
Also, I’m so used to shooting in ‘manual’ mode on my digital and controlling every aspect of the camera settings. With both of these I just have ‘sunny’ or ‘cloudy’ and a couple other settings. So I guess it’s just through trial and error that I can figure out what kind of lighting needs which setting.
We’ll see.
Both cameras are already loaded with another roll of film for more practicing!

I love film photography, toy cameras and I really want to go to Alaska one day! So adventurous! So, Diana Mini makes half frames just like Golden Half! Cool! Golden Half is my all time favorite toy camera
On my blog I post about lomography every Monday.
