pointers This morning it was snowing and snowing and snowing. So much that we even considered building a snowman! However, it was just too cold and we didn’t have any good gloves for that sort of ...
pray With -8°C out there we actually decided to have a warm day in today. There isn’t much to report apart from the fact that I have shot 21 rolls of film with my Leica so ...
red I’m glad that I have already shot more than 20 rolls of film on this trip, since the temperatures are now getting really awful to be out shooting. -5°C are quite uncomfortable especially with a metal ...
dressed to play Today I shot 3 rolls of colour film in Seiffen, a small town in the mountains where they traditionally produce wooden toys and decoration for Christmas. It was actually very much like a Christmas outing, ...
road trip Nancy, my new Leica, has definitely brought me quite some photographic bliss over the last week. The ease of shooting with it and the haptic feedback is really rather enjoyable and I’m sure I’ll have ...
buy yourself happiness Today I took a bit of a break and didn’t take any pictures. After so many rolls and walking around in all kinds of horrible weather the last few days, it wasn’t so bad not ...
all or nothing The last few days with my new Leica were very productive. Even today I took some pictures although my hometown really isn’t all that interesting. Like most East German towns it has quite a number ...
football fans at night Today we finally had some good weather and I used the opportunity to take out my Rollei for the last time this year. I’m actually not taking it on my trip to Germany because I ...
film water battery After weeks and weeks of rain and grey ISO 800-1600 weather I’m very much looking forward to travelling a bit. The place where I live isn’t exactly great for street photography even when the weather ...
unusual perspectives Yesterday was the last tango lesson of the year for us and for once the weather wasn’t too miserable. I loaded my XA with some rather hastily rolled XP2 and off we went. We were actually ...
don’t bite You might have noticed that unusual things have been happening on my blog. Not only do I keep posting landscapes, no suddenly there also appear shots in colour. This might be confusing to some, who ...
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 ...
comfortable Yesterday we went to the cinema to see Woody Allen’s latest movie, Magic in the Moonlight, and I was actually stunned by the colours. Immediately I was thinking, wait was this shot on film? At ...
local jungle – C41 development Yesterday I finally overcame my fears and developed my first roll of C41 colour film at home. The process was surprisingly easy and I’m actually happy with the results which is surprising too, since I’m ...
It’s colour time Today I was busy with my newest experiment – C41 colour film development at home – and therefore I will only give you a little preview of what is to come tomorrow, namely shots from ...
on sale On some days I can really understand why Vivian Maier never showed her work to anyone. Although I generally get very good feedback from my blog and know that a lot of people like it, ...
partner look Half the fun of film photography for me is a healthy amount of experimentation. Yesterday I was bulk loading my first roll of film from a 100ft roll of XP2 and now I’m eager to ...
black and white (eye-)candy Tri-X and I seem to have a little love-hate relationship going on. At first I didn’t like it at all, mainly because I only ever tried it in Rodinal and shot it with a yellow ...
culture shock Normally I wait at least a couple of weeks before processing a roll of film, but last weekend I actually shot a test roll of Orwo N74+ and really wanted to see how it rates ...
surreal I was surprised when I saw the results from this roll. The experience of shooting it was really a rather rough one. I didn’t know the city too well and just wanted to shoot a ...
