Burnet, Texas, 2002 - holga



Cactus Field, Burnet, Texas, 2002 - holga

These were both taken at Inks Lake in the Hill Country. It was so hot and so bright. We saw a bunch of lizards and I was so expecting to see a rattlesnake, it just seemed like perfect terrain.

I've come to realize that shooting with a holga in Texas is better than shooting in northern states since the light is brighter (since there is really only one aperture, even though there is a sunny and shady setting, it doesn't really do anything). I rarely lost shots to underexposure in Texas, here in Minnesota it happens regularly. I'm beginning to push the film a stop when I know it's going to be underexposed to see if that will help.

I can relate to what you say about the sun being so much brighter in Texas. These photos remind me of my recent New Mexico trip where the sun feels much the same. I like how the first image seems to be coming straight off the page right towards me, very 3D looking. Paul

Sometimes it looks like I took the picture with a flash. The cactuses kind of has that look.
