I had time for a really quick photoshoot on a bridge overseeing multiple train tracks in Frankfurt’s east end. It was also freezing cold and wet so I did these shots in a hurry. Join me for some Frankfurt trainspotting.
During a recent visit up to Germany’s North Sea coast, I couldn’t resist but bring along my large format gear to take advantage of wide open spaces and fight against some extremely changeable weather. Here are some impressions of the East Frisian coastline in large format!
Stopping over in Frankfurt en route up north, I took the opportunity to meet some fellow analogue photographers and visit the incredible ‘Sprudelhof’ spa in Bad Nauheim. Join me for a look back in time with plenty of cameras to look at too!
I enjoyed my first large format camera visit to Munich’s Olympic rowing lake so much that I returned a week later, this time with 3 other large format shooters! Join me for more big negative views including some Kodak Ektar sheet film.
This post has it all, city views, smaller quaint towns, and the big Bavarian outdoors. Shot over a few days when my parents visited, here is some of the best that Bavaria has to offer.
Another ‘World in Large Format’ and incidentally more of the Olympic venues in Munich; this time the Olympic rowing lake with a focus on the incredible 50 year old 10,000 capacity stands along with some great weather. Join me for my impressions on Fomapan 100 film.
A Sunday meetup with a couple of fellow large format photographers for a walk around Munich’s Olympic village in search of some old architecture and interesting shots. Here are my impressions.

An impromptu Hasselblad photowalk with a friend around Munich one day after work sees fast changing light and classic architecture. Join me for a quick walk around central Munich.
This next post sees an overnight stay in a cabin ontop of a mountain with very changeable weather and lighting. Thankfully I had a roll of trustworthy Kodak Porta 400 to deal with changing conditions.
The next part of this adventure sees a visit to the town of Kempten, followed by a trip into the Bavarian wilderness and finally resting on the top of a cliff for the evening. Join me for more expired film adventures in Bavaria.
My second post in this series sees a visit to Grainau, just under the tallest mountain range in Germany. Today’s chosen film is Ilford FP4, in search of some light and contrast in some gloomy mountain weather.

After finding a great deal from someone selling his Grandfather’s old Edixa camera, I was eager to take this curious and history packed camera through its paces on a recent trip home to Madrid. Here are my impressions.
I was gifted a roll of Santa Rae 1000 at the end of last year and having let it mature in my fridge for a few months, I took it out for a spin and a review in a photowalk around Nymphenburg Castle, Munich. Join me for a review of this curious new emulsion.
A Saturday morning meet up with fellow large format photographers combined with a fascinating abandoned railway building, what a great combination! Join me for a shootout with the big guns!
