On that wideangle, pinhole Holga I find it interesting that it has a 1/100 second shutter and 'f/8 and f/11'. Elsewhere it says that it's f/135, which at 1/100 would mean that you need 1600 ISO film on the best of days out in the open for the center part of the exposure, and f/135 is also very, very mushy even for pinhole photography. In the corners it will be dark and stay dark; very dark. All very holgish. BTW, I like this one where you caught the ghost escaping: http://www.kencarney.com/Places/tif_0009_std.html -- * Henning J.
