On that wideangle, pinhole Holga I find it interesting that it has a
1/100 second shutter and 'f/8 and f/11'.
Elsewhere it says that it's f/135, which at 1/100 would mean that you
need 1600 ISO film on the best of days out in the open for the center
part of the exposure, and f/135 is also very, very mushy even for
pinhole photography. In the corners it will be dark and stay dark;
very dark.
All very holgish.
BTW, I like this one where you caught the ghost escaping:
