rainy season

There were two reasons why I got myself the Pakon. First of all, lately I’ve been shooting quite a bit of colour film and correcting the colours was giving me quite a bit of a headache. The Pakon software does a pretty great job at colour correcting consumer films and that’s precisely the stuff I shoot most. The most important reason was the speed of the scanner though, because it can actually scan a whole roll of 35mm film in 3-5 minutes, which makes it also worthwhile for black and white. I think considering that this roll was a difficult one – quite underdeveloped in the shadows but dense in the highlights – it did alright. I’m curious how it’ll do on a roll that was developed properly.

All pictures taken with: Leica M6 + Zeiss ZM C-Biogon 35mm f/2.8.

The weather was miserable! Very cold, rainy and windy.

Now, if that doesn’t attract the tourists …!

Not quite the kind of fur coats one sees around here!

Rain might be photogenic, but it’s extremely annoying nonetheless!

  • Most of time I do not like so much tilted photos, even if I do it a lot 🙂 but in this case, the first picture works very well giving a sense of a kind of uncertainty, great shot! I can feel the wet cold weather and the desire to escape in a dry place…
    So this is Nancy! Wow! Congrats.
