    summer 1890

    With a wooden ~1890s 9×12 tailboard camera, though shooting on medium format film (Ilford Delta 100). Half of the time it works all the time! This is hand-held, with the slightly modified original Thornton-Pickard shutter, at about 1/200s. Focusing remains slightly problematic – the focusing scale I made is not very accurate and my bad…

    self portrait in closet

    old man tries to fill the film. old man should do that more often but old man didn’t feel like it during winter. but they switched the big photo light in the sky back on now so maybe we can have more narcissism labeled as art again. i say we but i mean mostly myself…

    the romance of the sea

    With a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on (modern, unrelated) Rollei 25 Ortho plus. Which is a nice slow film for keeping these old cameras wide open on sunny days. At which point one will of course only see scenes that would benefit from a smaller aperture, as is the law. #rolleiflex #rolleiflexoldstandard #filmisnotdead #rolleiortho25

    (There’s an office chair in there which is really hard to see because I focused on the wrong thing, as is tradition) Camera: 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on glowing Foma Ortho 400

    really weird birds

    Or maybe deer. I’m not an ornithologist. Basically actual wildlife photography! I would have two much better photos, but the Rolleiflex decided to have film transport problems for the first time since 1932 and the last shots are not actually on the film. Looked great through the viewfinder though! National Geographic cover, available in my…

    The downside of the new old car is that i’m currently spending most of my free time with fixing all the little things that are broken instead of with photographing trees. But the upside is that it basically works and one can use it to drive to trees that are much further away. Or stork…

    Iris trägt den gefallenen Helden zum Olymp empor; August Wredow, 1857

    They are all pretty good but this is objectively the best statue on Schlossbrücke. Camera: Ihagee Exakta Varex IIa, with Sonnar 135/f4 #berlinonfilm #ihageeexakta

    The nice thing about taking the Rolleiflex to the bar is that one has something to do while waiting for the tram on the way back. These are admittedly the only decent ones out of 12 but they’re surprisingly sharp for 1s exposure time after *many* beers, hand-held. Well hand-held-against-a-wall but still. Camera: beloved 1932…

    just chilling

    Statues – for when you’d rather photograph people but also don’t want to ask. On the plus side, I’m prepared if I ever meet someone made out of bronze. Unfortunately I don’t know who made these or what their name is. They seemed rather quiet in any case. Camera: 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on Foma…

    Camera: 1950s Ihagee Exakta Varex something tralala, need to use the other cameras more again, this is getting boring to type out 🙂 On Foma 200. #filmisnotdead #ihageeexakta #fomafilm #fomapan200 #birdsonfilm
