Yes, again in the field around the city, Abrantes, Portugal, by Christmas season, sticking in the Reality So Subtle 6×17 another old Delta 100 from the first batch, completely outdated… pure point and shoot… 4 seconds exposure, and this is what comes out in the scan!…
Reality So Subtle 6×17 pinhole is the camera I like to take around and see how the world looks like photographed in wide way… here with an old Delta 100, f/233 4sec exposure all of them!
This week I took out the 6006 with some long expired Ektar… love to go into the city, Lisbon here, and come with a surprise in the box, maybe an empty surprise… well, from the 12, 4 came in with something to look at… a surprise into every frame, I guess it was the light…
Back on the tracks, with Delta100 getting old inside my diy6x17, so it was to go where everybody goes in Lisbon to see the river, the bridge, and feel the best in the city. Not the best framing in the end, its hard to get the perfect composition without a ground glass, still I liked…
Another experiment with light and mood, trying to figure out exposure for an inside picture, with the me as a ghost showing up as intended but not quiet as I wanted. The only one with something to see on this roll. With and old TriX developed in PMK.
Abrantes, Portugal, once again, where I like to go on weekends, to visit my mother, and enjoy the quiet life of a small country town, and life follows a slower pace that I like to melt in around. With my 6006 measuring the light, f/16 focused at 10 meters, so everything from 3 meters to…
Three good ones from a walk in Salerno with another roll of Kodak 125PX (developed as ever in PMK), those great emulsions of the past gone. Again with the 6006, measuring light like no other. Focused to 5m, with f11 or f16, everything is in sharp from 3m to infinity… poor man auto-focus!
In Italy this summer, based in Salerno, I took a trip by boat into Amalfi Coast, Amalfi itself, Positano, Ravello and Capri. Those places are absolutely marvelous. I have a few rolls from there, b&w and color that will make the next weeks. I took with me my faithfull Rolleiflex 6006, with the regular 80mm…
There are not many things that make me sad, but there is one thing that makes me really sad: it’s when an emulsion goes out of production! Like a friend leaving, or going away forever or into heavens… Over the years I saw some of those friends leaving and emulsions too, for example, Kodak Chromes……
It’s Lisbon, and it’s hot, but I never complain, we have to accept what mother nature gives us, and we can always keep the hot memories for winter days! Sometimes I open the fridge and pick up at random a roll and stick it into a machine and off it goes with me on a…
My Balda is my companion when out with expired film and shooting just for the pleasure of it. This time thinking in color, capturing the mood by the river, south of Lisbon, rendering life as we see it!
…same place, midtown garden in Lisbon, this time old expired Provia, with RsSubtle pinhole! Hard to scan, far from perfect, but I liked the mood…
