Pico esq. Moldes (917x975)
View from our terrace at night.

The photographer managed to make all possible beginner mistakes. In only one picture! Camera blur (well it was a bulb exposure of about ten seconds...), too early on the film (this is why you see the decorative black border on the left!), Camera strap in front of the lens (it's not a SLR, didn't see this through the viewfinder), not to speak of the poor composition... (Could not wait to test the plastic box first night straight away!)

But hey, it is my first Holga picture ever!

Well, not bad. This picture actually lines up with other famous "first timers". For example check out this one here http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:View_from_the_Window_at_Le_Gras%2C_Joseph_Nic%C3%A9phore_Ni%C3%A9pce.jpg
I guess, this guy used something like a forerunner of the Holgy. Amazing, what progress they have made in 180 years of photography... ;-)
Keep on the good work.
