Only posted the good ones. I developed at Walgreens. Every time almost half the roll doesn't turn out. The colors are always bland too. Is it Walgreens or my camera? Thanks

I liked the alleyway shot. Well, simple cameras like the Diana or Holga have slow lenses that do not admit much light, so in lower-light conditions, the film is almost always going top wind up being UNDER-exposed, which leads to weak, muddy color. The fact that "some" images came out okay makes me think that the issue is due to the camera and its fixed exposure not fitting the scenes and their brightness. The alleyway shot, and the shamrock decoration both were exposed correctly.

First and foremost, I will not get my photographs developed at walgreens. Find a pro lab developer in your area.
