    macro experiments, part 2

    macro experiments, part 2 Same setup as last post. I need to find stuff which is more interesting looking at that scale. Maybe moss or something. This is a plant of some kind (idk of what kind). The new leaf in the center is maybe 5mm long or so.

    macro experiments, part 1

    This is a (used) soldering sponge, images are 5mm across or so. Shot with a Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb, using a Pentacon 200mm lens, and a roughly 600mm long extension made out of cardboard. You would think you’d need to line up the lens and camera super accurately, but you really don’t. Have lens and…

    Belvedere Charlottenburg

    Belvedere Charlottenburg – for when having your windows supported by half-naked twinks wasn’t quite enough so you crown the thing with three boys in gold. Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb w/ Pentacon 200mm/f4 (which I like very much so far) on Ilford Delta 400 (the stripes on the second pic are bromide drag and my fault,…

    home at full moon

    bit shaky but I like it 💁‍♂️ Ihagee Exakta Varex w/ Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 50mm/2.8 (yea super important to mention the lens in a picture that’s mostly motion blur :P), Ilford Delta 400, scanned negative

    lamp.

    This isn’t the world’s best photo ever but I hand-held this at night with a pretty unwieldy Pentacon 200mm/f4 at 1/30s or so, and somehow it didn’t come out totally blurry. Gonna try brain surgery next. Also my “new” (1964-ish) Ihagee Exakta Varex works again, after I disassembled and re-assembled the whole thing because it…

    Is this a b/w photography account now?

    Idk, but I’m having fun. #lastoftheroll from the last couple rolls (Ilford Delta 400) Old Jena 50mm on the close-focus limit is totally my jam, man. It also tends to jam there. Man. There’s nothing happening in these shots, which is why I like them.

    last night at Mauerpark

    Ihagee Exa with a Hanimex 90-230mm f/4.5 lens that weighs about three tons and has the size and shape of a very big black …pepper grinder. Lens attached to tripod with the comparatively dainty camera dangling off at the end. Not the most practical of combinations, tbh. Exposure time 10s or so, on Ilford Delta…

    experiments in process abuse

    these are all prints on Ilford MGRC (black and white) paper, which makes very nice colors when left unfixed and then exposed to light 1 – developer, no fixer, slightly bleached in hydrogen peroxide (which turned it brown), the color circle is exposure with a desk lamp 2 – developer, no fixer, citric acid, hydrogen…
