zoom zoom
Okay maybe a Rolleiflex is not the best camera to bring the action across, but i think i captured the essence of it all anyway. Car go fast. And it’s not easy to catch things going fast with a waist-level viewfinder. I think this was on max speed (1/300s) but not 100% sure anymore. On…

at the lake
in half-format panorama, with a delightful little Ricoh Auto-Half E2, on Kentmere Pan 400 second one has a bit of a Josef Koudelka vibe but maybe that’s just me #halfformatphotography #halframecamera #ricohautohalf #kentmere400

the key to landscape photography is unreliable antique cameras A 1930s Plaubel Makina II in this case, on Fomapan 400. #plaubelmakina #fomafilm #fomapan400

the best worst camera
I’m admittedly easy to amuse but this thing is just great. Made with a generic (well, dinosaur styled, so not *that* generic) kids camera with a built-in thermo printer. The camera apparently has 20 megapixels, a small selection of which get printed. There are higher-resolution print modes but they don’t look as good. And one…

and now for something *entirely* different
German touring car masters, shot in infrared because why not. The race was pretty entertaining but they’re using GT3 cars nowadays which doesn’t look as absurd as the boxy old school touring cars. But was still fun, and loud and sunny and all the good things. The infrared isn’t sooo super obvious – in the…

I wear my infrared glasses at night
Though not sure if it makes a huge difference in this case because this was with a 300 W incandescent light bulb. Would probably have looked similar in the visible spectrum. I’ve also managed to only burn my arm once so that’s good and professional. Some people manage to do these kinds of self portrait…

coffee kitsch
okay the end result looks like something one would use as a background for a “live laugh love” poster but a big part of the fun is to use the old 9×12 camera in the street. There is a street there in the background, it’s just not visible because of the combination of physics and…

nature and infrastructure
okay the focus is maybe not exactly where it should be. But in my defense, classic 9×12 cameras are really difficult to shoot hand-held. And if I used a tripod I wouldn’t have that excuse for my mistakes, so I can’t do that. The dust is also a bit much even for my standards but…

short wave infrared vacation
it’s important to not get eyes in frame if you don’t want to get nightmares but hands and arms work very well This is with a 720 nm high-pass filter so there’s a tiniest bit of (red) visible light in it too but it’s mostly infrared. That also makes skin much more transparent which conveniently…

In flight! With a Rolleiflex! Okay without the tree in the background this would be a better picture but I couldn’t really move that in time. #rolleiflex #rolleiflexoldstandard #fomafilm #fomapan400
