Again – not much to say. Except maybe that you never should shoot portraits at bright sunshine (because of the hard shadows maybe). Also looking at the photographers rule: “Expose for the shadows, develop for the highlights” – my shadows are ok – my highlights – hmmm. There seems to […]

Without a lot of words this time – more film! The full roll, without redaction, with hair, spots etc (statistics in the end) … Enjoy!    

As expected, the level of knowledge and the expectations of the approximately 10 participants who joined our big table was widely spread. Maybe because of this, we got into a nice active exchange between the interested people after my endless monologue in the beginning. We had a lot of analog cameras […]

Queen Elisabeth is a Photographer from the beginning. You can find a lot of pictures of her using her Leicas. In younger years, she obviously appreciated the small form factor of the smallest 35mm camera introduced at the Photokina in 1966 – the Rollei 35. The Rollei 35 is very very […]

No idea, why the Lino like floor smells like fish but I got everything in, leaving the window open. Since it got quite cold outside and I don’t have a heating it feels fresh and funky right now. I put some lights in the room – looks more warm. Same music […]

All the hasty experiments during the last rainy days are done for preparation for a soon starting Workshop in our powwow club. People with very different level of knowledge will join. The basic idea is to enable everybody interested to take two rolls of film with an analog camera. I would like people to […]

The nicest thing about Stand Development is the time that you have. The process is slow. Right now I am developing the first roll of KODAK T-MAX 100 medium format film – same style like yesterday – Stand Dev. The difference is the agitation. With the ILFORD PAN 50 I didn’t do […]

Yesterday evening I wanted to try developing the first shot ILFORD PAN F PLUS 50 120 so bad, so my dissapointment about the not usable JOBO CPE-3 was infinite. By getting the device to work I wanted to check the process after so many years and find out, if the old Mamiya […]

I got the chemistry today! Two big packages from FOTOIMPEX arrived. Safely packed items, reasonable shipping costs and complete order make it a joy, to order from them – Dankeschoen und freundliche Gruesse aus dem Balkan an dieser Stelle! To be able to watch some reviews on youtube while waiting for development and […]

Before a week, I purchased a couple of different BW films at Fotoimpex, Berlin. They arrived after about one week. Check out this beautiful chaos. To get a better overview, I listed the films and to make it more interesting, the links behind them are of different kind. You will find links to […]
