About Subject background: more from the wild side of Holga. this time I tried to catch the atmosphere of a strange shaped passthrough... starting in the dark, getting some shadowed light, passing through the dark again, seeing some signs of shelter on the end of the tunnel... maybe some steps in life or the whole life in just 10 meters?

PC concept: virtually nothing. scanned with Epson Perfection 3170 and then mild work on the levels.

Honest feedback highly appreciated

Hi Thilo,

I think you have the right attitude, when it comes to your photography. I think a healthy amount of variety is the way to go. Don't let people pin you down to a stereotype. Keep everyone guessing, what will he come up with next?

Hi Hugo,

I knew that the angle issue would distract some people. to be honest, I didn't care about it much when I took the photo ;-)

It seems that the Holga let's me see things different. One can feel the beauty of totally uninteresting subjects. that's something really amazing. it's like a child's view on the unknown wonders of the world which we adult cannot see anymore. so my Holga period is kind of a "getting back to where we started as a child"-thing. naive but deeply true.

more naive things to come ;-)

Hi Carmem,

actually, yes! it's great fun =)

I had some problems finding the right lab for the film but it seems that the search is over.

best wishes,

Hi Omar,

thanks for the great summary of Holga in general and the image as a speciality =)

I'm really starting to get a different view on the every-day-things.

Hi Andre,

you named it! comfort zone is something for lamers ;-)

this holga plastic thing let's me take some pictures I would never think about. totally natural and typical every day scenes now become something special, scary, uncomfortable. that's my holga mission.

Hi Ursula,

man muss ja erstmal grenzen überschreiten, um sie als solche identifizieren zu können ;-)

der winkel ist sicher extrem, aber wenn schon holga, dann spinnert =)

LG,

Hi Kev,

hey, don't excuse what you honestly think. I don't need any "superduper image" comments - I knew that the angle issue would distract some people and I would like to find out how many victims I made with the angle ;-)

Hi Thilo, as always, a 45 degree angle is something I feel a bit weary about, but I love the way the viewer is sucked into this image. Warped in might be better. This oughta be good; the evolution of a new emerging style is always something I can appreciate. What I think is one of the really cool thhings about a Holga (from what I've seen) is the unexpected lack of focus in places where it should be sharp. It adds to the dream world images Looking forward to more!

Cheers,

Hugo

Hello, Thilo!!!
I find you have achieved a very good result on light and textures here. The rotation fits the Holla film format. Very well done... you are having a lot of fun with your new toy, I guess...
Cheers!

I like this 'wierd' view. It works very well with the 6x6 format, and the angle is good too. I like the plastic sheeting that distorts the image in the to right too. Makes an 'everyday' scene into a surreal abstract! The dark looking object at the end is kind of ominous too!

Hi Thilo,
Before I read Fadel and Kevin's comments, I had exactly the same opinion on the angle. At the same time. I'm sure your goal was to create something that got this kind of reaction. An image to create a certain amount of discomfort. I think you have shaken us out of our comfort zone. So, If that was what you wanted to do, it is a success. Still It would be good turned 45 degrees too. :)

Weird angle Thilo... It looks very creepy... It is as if being in one of those strage dreams... I makes me feel like I am running for my life...

I like very much the composition... Great tones and perspective... Well done my friend...

Cheers,

MaLuisa

Hi Thilo,der Laubengang ist in meinen Augen ein super motiv für Holga,aber meiner Meinung nach wirkt das ganze etwas steril (ev.zu durchdacht)und der Aufnahmewinkel ist etwas sehr geometrisch...das dunkle Dreieck unten links ist etwas störend (imho).Gar nicht einfach...diese wie zufällig entstanden aussehenden Bilder :)uff,was für ein Satz..
LG,Ursula

Nice subject for a Holga image - For me the angled shot does not help but detracts -- I'd perfer to see a straight on shot - that's just me and what do I know -- K
