Underexposed Beach Shot

[___Stacie]

So I took this with a holga, which is a toy medium format film camera, using expired ISO 100 film. Holga's have fixed apertures in the f/8-f/11 range and a shutter speed of about 1/100.



After the negatives were scanned I used Bridge to open it in ACR and adjusted the exposure and pushed the vibrance. Then I opened it in photoshop and ran a curves layer to brighten and a curves layer to add contrast, used the saturation sponge to bring out the color in the sky and ran noiseware to reduce the noise from the underexposure.

Really like it. Nice colour.

If anything I woult think of bending the horizon back though

I have a holga for my nikon - might crack it out in the bright days!

When I get my Holga I'm gonna show up on your doorstep. Just try to kick me off.

Seriously cool stuff, Stacie.
