Hello all,
I've just had my first ever 110 scans back from Photo Hippo and have to say I'm very impressed and they are a lot nicer than I expected. To begin with I have to say a big thank you to Mr Perceptive ( David) who sent me a couple of Halina 110 cameras for just postage , what a nice Guy. As the cameras are quite limited with regard to the range of exposure settings ( f9.5 at 1/90th of a second) and are of fixed focus adding the fact I could only get 200 ASA film ( Lomography Tiger) I wasn't expecting great things as the conditions really needed a faster film. I asked photo hippo to compensate for this by adding two stops in development which seems to have worked out fine.
This was the camera I used ( they are both the same) As I suspected by the type of camera it was set up really for holiday portraits which is the sort of distance (5 to 8 feet) where it worked best. After trying this I'm going to look out for something with a little more range with regard to settings and focus and have another try. Sometimes with the crop factor of the smaller film stock I did find it difficult to get back far enough to get everything I wanted in frame.
Just a couple of sample photos the rest I'll post in the Post your film shots thread.
Highley railway station in Shropshire on the Severn valley railway. I was interested here how colours were rendered.
Bottoms up taken in poor light in Newquay Cornwall
Bottom of Robin Hoods bay in North Yorkshire, I had taken a shot here with my Digital camera and it seemed like I had to walk back ( up the cliff) by a very long distance to get the same shot.
One of the longest estabished Coops in , I bet you cannot guess ! This is opposite the Railway station of the North York Moors heritage railway Also in very poor light.
I have to say I really enjoyed using this camera, the fact you can get them even smaller really appeals to me so I'm reading up at the Rollei 110 ( because of it small size) and the Pentax Auto 110.
