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!

This post sees me heading to the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, with thankfully less climbing involved with the heavy large format gear. I shoot Kodak Ektar 100 film and Ilford FP4, come join me for a leisurely walk around two Alpine lakes.
A large format photo walk around Munich with a fellow large format photographer sees lots of experiments with different apertures, tilt & shift movements, and general good old large format geekiness. Join me for some interesting results!

My first outing with the Linhof into the Bavarian Alps saw my drag my equipment up to the 1,567m high Jochberg mountain in the Bavarian Alpine foreland. Join me alongside Kodak Ektar 100, Ilford FP4, and Kodak Pro Image 100 for some great views!

Faced with a pretty grim and rainy day in Munich, I loaded my Leica with 1 roll of Ilford HP5 and went to visit a museum and enjoy some beers in the Königsplatz next door. Here are my impressions.

Hauling my Linhof kit on a 1,300m vertical incline to the top of the Königsee probably was not the best idea I have ever come up with, but the resulting views were more than worth it. Join me for a walk around the Königsee in the Berchtesgaden Alps in Bavaria.
Join me for my leap of faith into the world of 4x5 large format photography, where I take my Linhof Master Technika camera back to its Munich roots to photograph the iconic Olympiapark München.
