no worries.

feel free to try. in my book, technically wrong doesn't necessarily mean a bad photo.

Oh, i just noticed that it's the negative that's slanted, not the picture. The horizontal wall in the background is actually quite parallel to the negative's top and bottom edges.

And that the 'flare spot' in the picture is possibly not a flare spot but a scanning artifect, bcoz the flare spot actually extends outside the picture area in the negative.

But technicals aside, i'm still don't quite 'understand' the pic.

It's very easy to take 'technically wrong' photos. It's very hard to take technically wrong photos that turn out very good.

Prefectly imperfect photos are difficult to take.

if it's a Holga, it's probably not a flare spot or scanning artifect. it's more likely a light leak from the camera, which exposes part of the film.

yup, that's correct. this light leak is in every picture from the roll.

i like your idea of using parts of the film to actually frame up the picture!
it gives it a different touch...
nothing right or wrong about this picture, but definitely stands out

here's another one where i scanned the negative and inverted it with PS. the picture in the contact print for this negative came out way under exposed, it was practically all black, as the guy was sleeping in the shade.



but by using this method, i'm able to get a picture that's interesting and printable, in my humble opinion.
