they don’t bite If you’ve ever lived through the joy of having to scan a roll of 35mm film on a flatbed scanner every single day you can probably relate to how wonderfully free I feel now. I ...
the sky is the limit Just as I thought, it really wasn’t an awfully big effort to scan the rest of my 35mm rolls today. I scanned some 10 rolls in total which really isn’t a lot when you have ...
the lamb Although I still feel under the weather things are starting to look a little better now. I was able to concentrate for a while on my reading and I also made an effort to scan. ...
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 ...
shadow play One of my plans for this trip was to shoot some carnival pictures. It’s really not my kind of tradition and I find it rather strange, so I needed to force myself a little to ...
looking out Today I was freezing when I went back from a café along the river where I had a drink with some of the girls from the language school. Clearly I was a bit optimistic hoping ...
the letter Today was definitely a photographically successful day, since I finished 3 rolls of film, one in the Leica, one in the XA and another one in the Rollei. It was actually my first time shooting ...
not allowed inside Finally I managed to take my Rollei out today and promptly a guy started talking to us on the beach, because he noticed that we were shooting with analog cameras. We started talking shop a ...
How to develop black and white film the lazy way A lot of people feel rather intimidated by doing their own film development at home. I definitely understand it, I was worried myself and didn’t dare to try it myself until after someone else showed ...
smiles At the moment I’m travelling, so I don’t know whether I will have that much time to post pictures. I’ll try to keep them coming. Just before leaving I made a point of scanning the last ...
the elephant Whenever I shoot my XA at night I usually follow it up with a couple of rolls shot at ISO 800 in daylight, because I forgot to change the setting of the light meter. This ...
ultimo febrero – Kentmere 400 I have been playing with Kentmere 400 for over a year now and I shot around 30 rolls of the stuff. I have tried it with D76, Rodinal, Tetenal Ultrafin and finally Caffenol-CL. After all ...
don’t bite the bear – Caffenol-CL The other day I developed some film in coffee for the first time. I wanted to try this for a while and had all the ingredients for stand-development sitting around with my other chemicals for ...
ouch Today I’ll show you some pictures from another one of those strange Basque traditions. Like many of them it involves drumming and the kids love it, but apart from that I have no idea what ...
chess When people ask me whether shooting film is more difficult then I usually say no. It doesn’t have to be more difficult at all, especially if you shoot with an automatic camera and use a ...
legs Today I show you some pictures from the first roll taken with my Yashica Electro 35 cc after extensive repairs. The rangefinder was stuck, there was something loose in the top plate, it had light ...
your mother … During my trip to Berlin in March I shot this roll and completely forgot about it after scanning it. The negatives were a bit more contrasty than what Kentmere normally looks like in Rodinal, because I ...
triplets When I was looking for a small automatic rangefinder I very quickly got interested in one of the most popular ones, the Yashica Electro 35. However, the more common models looked quite big and they ...
modern driftwood In the winter a big storm hit San Sebastian and a flood damaged all the four bridges and part of the beach front. The next day I went for a walk with my Zorki to see the ...
too late I stopped using an external light meter with my Zorki more than a year ago. It just slowed me down way too much and I felt like I was just blindly following the light meter ...
