Description Shot this using a Holga 120N loaded with a small square of Ilford photo paper.

The photo paper has an ISO rating of 4.

I mounted the Holga to a tripod and used a light meter to determine the shutter speed. For this particular image, I exposed the paper for about 30 seconds.

After developing the paper negative, I scanned the image and inverted the colors using Photoshop.

This is a great shot to begin with, but considering the method it's definitely impressive that you got this good of an image!

No problem! I mean it's cool to compose an image like that in the first place, but I doubt I could get that sharp of an image from a 30 second exposure, let alone with photo paper instead of film!
