This is one of my favorite shots from a recent photo shoot. In the center at the end is the Starorobocinski Wierch, the highest peak in the Western Tatras in Poland.
Gear:
• Yashica TL Electro X ITS (~1971)
• Yashica Yashinon-DS 50 mm f/1.7
• Kodak Professional Portra 400/36
Here is an image of a local Bluebell Wood. Although Bluebells are naturalised in other parts of the world, they are actually native to Western Europe, and over half of the world's population are found in the UK.
Bluebells are a common indicator species for ancient woodlands, so bluebell woods can date back at least 1600 years.
I feel like I'm beating a dead horse but here's the day 7 installment of my winter photo advent calendar thingy. No digital filter was used on this photo. All the special effects are courtesy of the crappy camera (a Coronet Flashmaster bakelite camera from the 1950's) and my sloppy film developing technique. You're welcome.
Today is the five-year anniversary of my wife and me leaving Germany to move to Japan.
An opportunity to take a fond look back at the area in which we had lived. Tübingen is a traditional university town located around 30km south of Stuttgart, with an impossibly picturesque historic city center.
All photos shot with Mamiya 6 and 50mm f/4 lens on Fujicolor Pro 400H medium-format film.
I can’t believe I waited until 2023 to try TLRs. I was so intimidated by how they didn’t look like any camera I know. The form factor is a good thing because I can take my Yashica 124G anywhere and it makes people curious and happy. Like, they want to have a photo taken of themselves with one.
The area around Fu Lu Shou Complex in Singapore is a religious Buddhist / Hindu / Taoist hotspot. It's also where you will find many Chinese devotees of Hindu gods.
