gate

plus zoom into the upper right corner because I like how painterly that corner specifically looks. Will put the main subject there from now on and only post crops. I still haven’t quite figured out how to do good photos with the Rolleiflex in general, because everything looks so cool through the viewfinder. It’s a…

chasing shadows

Shot with an Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb with a slightly absurd combination of lenses: A 60s Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar 2/50mm, which is very nice but also a bit soft around the edges when wide-open (as it was for this). Plus a very cheap Hanimex 2x Teleconverter which makes everything much much worse. Or better,…

Taken with a early-thirties Zeiss Ikon Box-Tengor 54/2 that my grandpa gave me when he saw my other old cameras. It’s weirdly elaborate for a box camera – full metal chassis, three selectable focusing distances where it shifts additional lenses behind the main lens, two tripod mounts, and a place for a cable shutter release.…

lookout

Accidental double exposure which worked out alright. What didn’t work out so well was the development of that film. It’s 90s expired Kodak Ektachrome (slide film) which I had in room temperature C41 for ages (my choosing of development recipes is largely based on moon phases and tarot cards). I think maybe the bleach-fix isn’t…

more mountains

Berlin’s tallest mountain is 121 meters of building rubble. I think these were a bit higher and maybe not even made out of rubble at all. Curious things, they deserve to take up two-thirds of every film roll IMHO. 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on Ilford Delta 400, scanned negatives

mountain view

Shot with an Ihagee Exakta Varex IIb with a Pentacon 200mm/f4 lens on Konica Centura 100 film. The film expired 2001, i.e. it’s basically brand new – when compared to the other color films I have been using lately. Also this is actually negative color film for once, so no cross-processing. Still looks very pleasingly…

Agfachrome Kitsch made in Austria

Shot with a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on expired Agfachrome R100S from the mid-80s, cross-processed in C41, scanned negatives. I like how these look like they could be cheap postcards. They’re not very exciting to look at but it’s kinda fun for me that I made these photos. If that makes any sense at all.

holidays in the sun

I didn’t try to make these look weird but it seems this film can only capture the supernatural light spectrum. I swear it’s all been people with faces and/or normal physical bodies. Why is the sky yellow in the second picture? Is that even in color at all? How can just motion blur create such…

berlin mitte dreams

Film: Svema DS-4 color film from Sumy Oblask, Ukraine, expired 1987. The rolls I have had either a very hard life, or a visit to Chernobyl on the way here – possibly both. It’s pretty much destroyed. This is the third roll and the first one where there’s anything even remotely image-like left on it.…
