Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Holga

A tremor in the Force. I have successfully developed and processed my first roll of film. It's also the first roll of medium format film I have ever taken, and my first foray into the world of the Holga camera.

Digital is much easier, but this film stuff is sooo much fun: the second guessing of the light and exposure, the crappy controls of the Holga, the smell of photo chemicals, and the waiting, waiting, waiting.... All of these factors make this photo of Lord Vader very special to me.

Completely awesome, and now I'll know who to pester with my questions when I finally get around to learning to develop film!

Hey Scott, anytime! I don't think I'll venture into developing color or making any prints (but who knows), but this B&W developing is quite straightforward.
