A Photographic Journey More Holga shots
In the summer of 2023, I had the joy of visiting Harris & Lewis, capturing the stunning landscapes and historical sites on film. Though I processed the films shortly after the holiday, it wasn’t until recently that I found the time to scan the images. Now that I am retired, I am delighted to start catching up on my film photography backlog.
The images presented here showcase a variety of places across the islands, with a focus on several remarkable sites. Notably, you’ll find images of the iconic standing stones at Callanish (images 1, 2, 3, and 8). These ancient stones date back nearly 5,000 years and stand as a breathtaking testament to the region’s rich archaeological heritage.
Additionally, I captured some photos of the Lewis Chessmen, also known as the Uig Chessmen, which are renowned for their intricate craftsmanship and historical significance.
Some othe images from around the island.
All the photographs were taken using my reliable Holga 120N camera and Ilford HP5 film, rated at 400 ISO. The development process involved Rodinal in a 1:100 dilution for a semi-stand time of 60 minutes.
I hope these images inspire you to explore the beauty and history of Harris & Lewis!
