The Mississippi Delta in Black and White: The Holga Files

2 Comments

This is post one of 5 of photos I did with my Holga in the Mississippi delta with my good friend Lowry a few weeks ago. I’ll be posting digital images from the trip after I get through these. I’m pretty pleased that I found 20 photos I liked out of 60 I shot. That’s a great ratio! I had them developed and scanned at The Darkroom dot com. Wow, they’re fast with delivering the files!

I think this is the last of the PIAP images I’ll be posting. I was pretty happy with my success rate of 70 some photos out of 300 that didn’t suck.

I like how the film rendered this. I tried it in digital and it just didn't work as well to me

I was interested most in the yellow rails and the red of the car. Then I noticed the smear of green in the window.

The fall colors in the railroad car windows and the sides of the car are what fascinated me

I love the details in this. The B&W didn't work as well for me. Not sure why

I liked the colors in this and the front of the engine against the sky

Several of these images are the color versions of photos I also did in B&W. Which do you prefer better, color or B&W. Let me know in the comments!
