Summer

Autumn has begun and the last nights were quite cold already, so here's one from when it was still hot.

Angel

My father-in-law was so nice to give me an old Rolleicord Va which he stopped using a long time ago, and so we have another new camera in this blog. It's a bit hard to get used to, but I think I'll eventually be able to cope with it.

For this particular picture, the square format wasn't exactly what I wanted, but I think it works anyway.

Roof

Picking up some common themes like birds and looking up.

Coming home

My head is empty - no idea what to write about this one.

Another tree

More than ten years go, I was presented with a Lomo LC-A. I think it was a joke at that time and I ran maybe one or two films through the camera and then put it away.

Last month, though, I pulled it out of the drawer for a change. Here's how it rendered a tree near our house.

Harbor

A part of Hamburg's harbor as seen through the window of a bus on a foggy morning a few days ago.

Unrelated to this picture, I'd like to recommend two small photo books that I recently bought: One is Tangente by Laurent Chardon and the other one is Elsewhere by Øyvind Hjelmen. Both show only photos in square format which is something I didn't like very much for years. But it seems I changed my mind recently.

Working the situation some more

As promised. A few days later, but still the same building. Now with more birds, though, and without a street lamp.

And this was the first time ever I've used Rollei RPX 400. I'm not sure yet if I like it or not. (As far as I understand, someone bought the rights to use the name. The film is not manufactured by the famous German camera maker.)

The photo was slightly cropped and I worked quite a bit on the tonal values of the sky.
