Frank Gehry - Axica Berlin Detail

This is a detail from the Axica - a building by Frank Gehry who also built the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Unfortunately the interior of the building is not open to the public. The building is right next to the new US embassy amd the Brandenburg Gate at Pariser Platz 3. Fortunately I was invited to a conference in the building and brought my camera.

Sinar f2 - Garlic



Sinar f2 - Garlic, originally uploaded by mobilestreetlife.

Every time I get out my large format camera to play with I just have to have a go at a garlic photo. I am positively entranced by the texture of the dried garlic bulbs. Here is a garlic photo shot with my Sinar f2 and Sinaron f5.6/180mm lens. Film was kodak Tri-X 320 professional developed in Calbe A49 for 12 minutes. Inversion first 30 seconds, then 3x every 30 seconds.

Gnarly Tree on High Marsh



Pentax 67 - Gnarly Tree, originally uploaded by mobilestreetlife.

Found this tree standing lonely on a high marsh in the black forest. Used a strong red filter to really lift the greens and browns and darken the sky.

Pinhole - Flowers in Meadow

Easily my favorite photo from the Easter Walk in Stuttgart Schlosspark. Taken with an Agfa Isola Pinhole f220 Camera Conversion. I saw this scene on our way back from the Rosensteinpark. Along the path, close to a main road, and with thousands of bank holiday visitors walking past, the sun created this pattern of light and dark and lit up the flowers like candles. I chose not to use a filter to keep the tonal range in the grass.

Film was T-Max 100 developed in Perceptol 1+4 for 19 minutes at 20 degrees Celsius, turning for the first 30 seconds and 2 turns every minute thereafter.

Pinhole - Trees in Park



Pinhole - Trees in Park, originally uploaded by mobilestreetlife.

Pinhole is fast becoming an addiction. I bought a used Agfa Isola Pinhole Camera Conversion off ebay, worked out an exposure guide for T-Max 100 film, and set out shooting some film. The first results have been very encouraging.

I was looking for landscape scenes that are reminiscent of Ansel Adams or John Sexton. I found this scene in the Rosensteinpark in Stuttgart.

This photo was taken around 3pm on a clear sunny day in April. I dialled in a light yellow filter with 1/2 stop increase to bring down the values in the sky a little and increase the contrast in the shadows in the foreground. The exposure time was 8 seconds.

The film was developed in Ilford Perceptol 1+4 for 19 seconds at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
