Countless rolls, hours invested in planning and shooting, lots of money spent on film and development, but it was more than worth it! Here are my reflections on a year long journey and my top 99 best photos!
Managing to get my hands on some super high contrast black & white film, what better place to try it out than Speyer's Technic Museum, with very curious results.
Only an hour north from Frankfurt you will find the quaint town of Wetzlar, with lovely German architecture and home to the world famous Leica Camera AG. Join me for a walk around this interesting little town.
Enjoying a few days stopover in Iceland, I opted for the well regarded Fuji Acros 100 black & white film to capture the essence of Iceland. Here are my impressions of this wonderful place imprinted on 35mm and 120mm film.
Enjoying a sunny September holiday in the Boston area, I opted for the special CineStill 50D plus some of the usual suspects to keep me going. Join me for some wonderful light, wonderful beaches, and plenty of family shots!
JCH (Japan Camera Hunter) is a relatively new black & white film, that I have been eager to test out. I brought it along as I checked out the sights and sounds of the Museum Embankment Festival, or Museumsuferfest 2017
After a successful week with Kodak Vision3 500T, I was looking forward to trying out its 250D version, known for its excellent exposure latitude and colour rendition. I went out in search of bright colours and some good light.
I sourced some special Kodak cinematographic film and took it with me to one of Frankfurt's largest street parties. Join me for some bright lights and excellent low light rendition from this special film!
Stopping overnight in Bilbao gave me the perfect opporunity to go and see the Guggenheim, truly a photographer's dream and nothing better for black & white film!
A short trip to a childhood summer holiday location, and loads of film, some old photos, and plenty of family, make for great photo and storytelling opportunities. Join me for a personal trip down memory lane.
Redscale film is all about experimenting, and that's exactly what I did. Join me for a "round the neighbourhood" photo walk in Frankfurt with some special custom redscale film from Nik & Trick!
The idea was simple: the same roll of film, 2 different cameras, 2 different people, and 2 different houses. The theme: Cabin Fever. Here are our impressions of Rollei RPX 100.
Experimental film brings unexpected results, so in that sense this week was a success. What was not a success was producing any photographs worth keeping, but it is all for fun at the end of the day!
I had been waiting to use this film for a while, but as it has such a low ISO, I needed a bright summer's day to allow me to shoot this film handheld. The reviews are all excellent, so I was looking forward to trying it out!
Continuing the theme of colours and flowers, where better to go than a botanical garden in Frankfurt to try out my new macro extender for my camera. Here is my first go at macro photography with a Hasselblad camera.
Wanting to take advantage of the bright Madrid summer days, I found some film that would hopefully really bring out the colours. Here are my impressions of Rollei CN 200.
The oldest jazz band in Spain playing in a restored church in rural Spain made a great backdrop for trying out some new film and bringing along a few favourites. Come join me for some good old Dixieland Jazz!
Sometimes a random or 'no theme' photo walkabout works best, and with this in mind I enjoyed shooting Ilford's Super XP2 400 - here are my impressions.
