Your avatar reminds me of an episode of Calvin and Hobbes, where Calvin asks his dad why old movies and pictures were always in black and white. His dad tells him that they were actually faithful reproductions of reality, as the world was black and white back then, and has only recently turned color.

:w00t:

When Calvin then asks why old paintings are in color, his dad replies, "Simple. The artists were insane."

Yes and very funny- thank you for noticing.

Very nice indeed. And to think you did this with a Holga! Well done, well done. What was the film and did you do the darkroom work?

Thank you, I didn't do the processing, something I would like to learn one day though. The first shot with the Russian range finder was Ilford XP2 (C41) shot at 1/125 F6, The Holga shots where Ilford XP2 Super (C41).

Processing traditional silver black and white films are easy and very rewarding. You don't need a darkroom, just a chaging bag, or a completely dark room such as a basement or a bathroom at night. Once the film is loaded into the developing tank, you can then work in the light for example in a kitchen which is what I use. You may want to try it.

XP2 is great stuff.
