Loading up three rolls of black &#038; white film. I ran with AnalogHeld TPH 100, CineStill BwXX, and Kentmere 400 this year, developing all three rolls in 510-Pyro. This year, rather than bounce around, I stuck to a single geographic location, Sheridan College&#8217;s Trafalgar Road Campus. Shooting the exterior, interior, and the beautiful valley behind the campus. The idea was that I wanted to take only a little time out of my day driving to different locations; here, I could walk. I also made a YouTube video of my Holga Week. Still, I did it differently than my usual technique, opting for a POV-style video, mounting my iPhone to a holder mounted on the Holga&#8217;s hot shoe, and using a gimble for the talking parts.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53250704289\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53250704289_047d6c8926_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; CineStill BwXX @ ASA-200 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 7:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53250843720\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53250843720_585619cfcf_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; CineStill BwXX @ ASA-200 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 7:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53250704114\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53250704114_be39fdc5b1_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; CineStill BwXX @ ASA-200 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 7:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53250704039\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53250704039_341378854e_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; CineStill BwXX @ ASA-200 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 7:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53249465047\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53249465047_df4ae4cf2e_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Two\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; CineStill BwXX @ ASA-200 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 7:00 @ 20C<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>This year should also be a bit of a lesson for me to check to ensure the shutter control switch is set to &#8220;N&#8221; instead of &#8220;B&#8221;. So, I accidentally shot both my first and second roll on bulb mode, which resulted in a lot of shaking and over-exposed frames. Rather than cut, sleeve and ignore those rolls. I went ahead and embraced and fixed what I could; I also don&#8217;t think it helped that I had my iPhone secured to the top of the camera. Thankfully, developing all three rolls in 510-Pyro helped recover many of the frames I thought were long gone. My favourites are those I shot on Kentmere 400, only because I was shooting on a tripod and using the bulb. Now, I did cheat a little with that roll and metered to use the bulb mode effectively.<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53251860552\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53251860552_c578050635_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Kentmere 400 @ ASA-400 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 10:00 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53253097284\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53253097284_ab72ed4b0e_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Kentmere 400 @ ASA-400 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 10:00 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53252741326\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53252741326_f526ec3dd9_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Kentmere 400 @ ASA-400 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 10:00 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53251860347\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53251860347_97ce833aca_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Kentmere 400 @ ASA-400 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 10:00 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/53251860357\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53251860357_4239b6437a_b.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" alt=\"Holga Week 2023 - Day Three\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>Holga 120N &#8211; Optical Lens 1:8 f=60mm &#8211; Kentmere 400 @ ASA-400 &#8211; Zone Imaging 510-Pyro (1+100) 10:00 @ 20C (Constant Rotation)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>Despite everything, I&#8217;m happy with what I got this year for Holga Week.
