grumpy ladies Today I tested how well Fomapan fares pushed in Rodinal. Although the result wasn’t quite as badly fogged as the T-Max 400 I pushed to 1600 recently, it still was fogged and not a very ...
the eyes Today I looked through my negative folder and located two rolls that I’ve been meaning to re-scan to test my Pakon scanner a bit more. Of course I’ve already scanned literally hundreds of rolls with ...
and relax At the end of April before I started on the task of developing all those rolls from Argentina I bought another 100pack of archival negative sleeves for 35mm. I store all my negatives in archival ...

ay mamiya The other day my friend Julia made me very happy by sending me a very special gift. For quite a while now I’ve been dreaming about a more flexible medium format camera to extend my range ...
the stuff of nightmares Last time I counted I had 37 rolls left to develop. Since then I’ve developed at least 20 rolls, probably more, but somehow I now have 48 rolls left to develop. Either my maths is ...
strawberries I thought I had managed to screw up my film development in every possible way already, but apparently not. Today I managed something new: I only developed half of a roll. I must have measured ...
trespassing Yesterday I finally concluded a to-do item that is probably two years old. I wanted to display the blog posts in a different way on the general blog page so that they are easier to ...
escape velocity If you want to know why I sometimes like to shoot colour, then you will see a bunch of reasons in this post. This roll of Cinestill was shot on my last trip and I just love the results. And you will also see why I love rangefinders too. All of these were taken at speeds of 1/8 to 1/15, handheld. Pretty much impossible with an SLR unless you have image stabilisation. And of course my Zeiss lens is fantastic. The lens is really sharp, so it can be shot wide open without any problems. Although f/2.8 is really pushing it for handheld outdoor night shots it works even then, at least if you pick your shots carefully and shoot at ISO 1600. I'm thinking of investing in a faster 50mm lens before the winter so that I'm a bit more flexible, but I'm really impressed with this lens already. It was the perfect pick as my standard lens and it surpassed my expectations.
family ride I have now finished editing all the pictures from my last development run of Argentina pictures and I’m quite pleased with the results. There are some quirky, funny and beautiful things in the lot and ...
poder latino After spending quite some time editing pictures the last couple of days I thought it was about time to show you the first Rollei roll from our trip to Argentina. After having almost all my ...
slaughterhouse five At the moment I’m in the process of editing the last two batches of colour rolls I developed from our trip to Argentina. It’s interesting to see the pictures at last and I’m quite pleased ...
skate glory Most of the colour film I’ve shot to date have been cheap emulsions that are sold in drugstores. I managed to shoot some 60 rolls of a cheap drugstore re-branded Fuji 400 before it was ...
hair After waiting for such a long time to see the pictures from the many rolls I shot in Argentina I’m rather pleasantly surprised by the results. I developed a few rolls already before, but I’m ...
sceptical looks Having shot some 20 rolls of colour film with my Rollei I was eager to see some results, but at the same time I didn’t want to risk an important roll for testing. So, last week ...
climbing In the last year I have made some rather serious investments. There was my Rollei last summer, which is probably my favourite camera. The image quality is stunning, people react well to it because it’s ...
difficult couple It’s not always easy to keep up with my shooting habits. I shoot one or two rolls a day and if I want to keep it up I need to develop as many rolls as ...
