    austria through a flipped lens

    Shot with an early 60s Voigtländer Vito CD with a reversed rear lens element. Previous attempts in black-and-white are available 🙂 It looks even more funky in color I think. On Kodak Ektar 100 because sometimes you have to spend money to …spend money? Dev+Scan by filmspeedlab and it turned out just perfectly. With smaller…

    austria through a 1949 mimosa

    Such a great little camera, really – somehow especially great in color. It does have some sort of coating on the lens, and that really does seem to help. Dev+Scan by filmspeedlab, on Kodak Ektar 100.

    Tiffen Red 25

    These were all shot with a red filter, which (in b&w) darkens the sky and everything blue, and lightens up anything that’s red. These are the most dramatic examples from the roll I shot, but I would have expected even more dramatic results. On most of the shots it’s really not obvious there was a…

    Kwality

    These ones were taken with a disposable underwater camera, but developed and scanned by myself at home. The camera is unusually shitty, even for a disposable one. Doesn’t even have flash. It’s very compact though, once out of its underwater casing. And also weights like 20 grams, it’s kinda fun. I’ll keep it around to…

  • Flipped Lens Voigtländer Vito CD

    Flipped Lens Voigtländer Vito CD

    Some wonderful friends gave me a wonderful ~1963 Voigtländer Vito CD (“we thought you might like that” – yes I do!). Not something I would have bought myself but it’s a very pleasant little camera. The surprising thing is that everything on it just works – the self-timer, the exposure counter (counts from 36 backwards),…

    Things I found

    Turns out, photo walks through places you’ve already seen a million times are much easier if you take someone with you who is new to the area 🙂 Shot with a 1932 Rolleiflex “Old Standard”, on Fomapan 100. Which is still not my favorite film but it behaves better when one actually gets the exposure…

    self-developed nudity

    A friend of mine wanted to learn how to do film development, but obviously before you can develop something, you’ll have to shoot something first. And what she shot, I think, turned out just phantastic – proving that you should throw away all your gear and get new eyes instead, because this was all done…

  • 8mm home movies

    8mm home movies

    This is the much older regular (or “double”) 8, not super 8. It’s basically 16 mm film that goes through the camera twice and then is split after development into two runs of 8 mm film. This is on Fomapan R100 (reversal film) which is the only new film readily available in the format. I’d…

  • Color for the Mimosa

    Color for the Mimosa

    That worked out super well – and even the wildlife was cooperating. It’s not so easy to shoot birds with a fixed 50mm lens, normally. But I also really like the look of these, there’s something vaguely vintage about them (softness around the edges and things) but it’s not overpowering. So ya, the little Mimosa…

    Lumennarcissism

    Forgot to put this on the website even though I look pretty hot in it. It’s a lumen print from a digital negative of a digital photo shot by a wonderful analog friend. In other words – I converted a photo to negative, printed that on a transparency, and then put that on top of…
