Holga Wide Pinhole Camera out on the South Downs

After a failed attempt a few days before I headed back up to a favourite part of the South downs with my Holga WPC, loaded with Fomapan 100 film. The fail before was due to too many large light leaks, I don’t mind a few small light leaks as you may expect from a Holga, but this was too much, the video footage and scanned files mostly ended up in the bin. Determined not to be beaten by light leaks I set out to find the source of the leak, after locating it (coming in around the pinhole shutter) I dug out the gaffer tape and filled the inside of the camera up. This time I was confident they were now gone, thankfully had some amazing light for the occasion and after getting home and developing as soon as I could so I didn’t ponder on it to long, I was relieved to find my Holga wide pinhole camera was light leak least for now. The film was stand developed in Ilford DDX, agitated for the first minute then left to stand for 45 minutes, All images will be uploaded to my socia
