Something you don't see every day - I jammed a 35mm film into a 120 camera and the resultant images went all the way to the edge of the film. This photo was shot from the hip and shows two folks jogging across the new "green" bridge in Brisbane. The bridge carries people on foot, bikes and buses only.
The camera was a Holga - a cheap Chinese 120-roll camera with fixed shutter-speed and aperture and a plastic lens. It has a curious soft focus and interesting colour rendition.
To fit a 35mm film into the Holga I had to make a few temporary modifications to the camera. Click on the pictures to go to my flickr site where further explanation can be found.
I am wondering about the possibilities of using 35mm film in other types of camera too. A mosaic of pieces of 35mm film could be held somehow within a 4x5 sheet film holder....
