entry description
I shot this with a $10 plastic Holga camera after long careful planning. I’ve driven over this ramp a hundred of times waiting for a perfect spot. And thus I positioned myself well in advance behind a white shiny car (Scirocco!) for a better “hook” and hit the shutter exactly when the lines seemed to merge. I then stand-developed the film (Ilford HP5+) in Rodinal developer to gain full grain.about the photographer
