    Bandaloop Project, as I saw it with my Holga..

    Not to compete with Seb B's wonderful sequence of the same group, here is a photograph I did at the Utah Arts Fest. I was there on Sunday though.
    What do you think?

    Dear Brian,

    From a technical standpoint, I might say that you overexposed it a tad. But with a Holga, I guess it is either too much or not enough ! Any ways, I actually like this a bit. The large portions of the sky and wall(?) provide a nice sense of scale for the figures. They are tiny compared to the rest of the picture, and as such, make a nice little bonus for the composition. If it was just the wall and the sky, it might be okay, but I think the figures make this picture more interesting, and provide a point of focus. A very nice job on this one.

    This is very good in my op. As stated, the large area of building and sky really makes the persons appear tiny in scale, and the sight of them on the edge all flailing their arms and gesturing really creates an interesting scene. and of course, the Holga magic works i this nicely. This is a good shot imo

    Brian,

    This is terrific - I must get round to buying one of these things, They produce fantastic photographs.

    Good composition for this shot.
