I’m constantly on the go…..

I haven’t really stopped at all over the past two years, except for a short vacation in Catalonia this year. Even though I always carry an arsenal of cameras and different types of film, I rarely get the chance to take them out of the car to capture a shot. Still, I have a few shots that I’d love to share with you.

  • Nikon, Bronica, Contax,…
  • expired: Kodak, Ilford, Fomapan, Adox,…
  • I still only use developers that I mix myself at home
  • The featured photo is the only one taken with my old D800, which I still haven’t given up on

And a bit of music to wrap things up. Unlike me, my son doesn’t let the muses sleep…

Ansco 130

Lately I like to use the Ansco 130 positive developer again after years. But I’ve only recently started using it as a developer for developing negatives. Basically, I leave any negative film (120) motionless for 45 minutes in the developer.

  • Kodak TMAX 400, Ilford HP5+, Ilford F PAN +, Fomapan 100……
  • Ansco 130(homemade) dilution 1+20
  • 45min

games of the light…

I haven’t posted in a very long time. Sometimes it happens that nothing seems to be happening around, or the second case when there is too much going on and then there is no free time left for fun. That’s why I’m only adding a few shots while playing with the light and the developing in the studio

  • Nikon F4 + MF Samyang 2/135mm
  • Fomapan F100 +1 EV
  • pseudosolarization process with Rodinal & red light
  • Fomabrom C112 + Bürki@Jenny WT

lith & Lilith…

I spent several long nights experimenting with my own positive developer, with which I could make photographs with and without grain, black and white and monochrome, and most importantly to make it suitable for lith print… just the holy grail. In combination with the paper used, I managed to achieve quite interesting results. I used one pack of Fomabrom N 112 for testing. At the moment when it became clear that this developer, composed of three solutions, can do a lot of effects depending on the given ratios, I used Fomatone MG clasic 132 paper. Because the lith print result seems really great to me, I named this developer Lilith The basis of this developer is the excellent negative developer 510Pyro in a dilution of 1:200. By mixing the other two solutions in different proportions, we get an almost infinite number of combinations of the results in the photo 🙃🎞📷🖼

First exploration of this developer’s abilities on Fomabrom N112 papers

  • Nikon F4 + Nikkor f1,4/50mm
  • Kodak 2237 ISO 1@12 (push 3EV) + 510Pyro
  • Fomatone MG132 classic + Lilith(own formula of developer)

back to the childhood

Every summer I travel to places where I spent my childhood. And sometimes I’m allowed to take pictures of my current childhood. I would ask the father of the little boy in the water to write to me so that I can send him a photo in better resolution…. 🙃🎞📷

  • Zenza Bronica S2 + Nikon F4
  • Nikkor P 75mm+ YF + Sigma 17-35mm
  • Foma Ortho 400 + Kodak 5231
  • D76

Relax with Eastman Kodak 5231…

We spent Saturday morning on these warm days 500 meters above sea level…on the pedal boat. It definitely wanted to take a lens with a shorter focal length than 50mm🙃🎞📷

  • Canon EOS 500N + Canon STM 1.8/50mm
  • Kodak 5231 @200 + FX 37
  • scan

Eastman Kodak 2237…

Today I tested another great negative movie film from Kodak. It is primarily intended for copying and archiving. But it’s definitely great for photograph. I certainly could have brought a better lens… but you know me. I like to shoot with lenses that have reached their end of life and no one wants them🙃📷🎞

  • Contax 159 Q + cheap broken zoom maginon G 28-85mm
  • Kodak 2237 ISO 1,6 Push 4 EV + 510PYRO + TF2
