Roll 525, Tessar, Kodak Gold 200

I've used a lot of Kodak Gold 100 and now 200, and I like it. Recently, I tried Kodak Pro-Image 200 and was surprised: poorman's Portra. The skin rendering is great with a little Ektar 100 color pop.

Nice images!

Love the last one Zeno! The colour, the light, the framing which include th e reflections (I think) on the top make an interesting photo, nice to see.

 

[petronius]

Thank you Robert. It was shot from my daily bus ride to work. The windows frequently generate some interesting reflections.

I'm puzzled by the reflections in this picture. The reflections of the trees look just right; but where is the Autohaus building whose reflection appears? The reflection is there, but where's the part of the building where the lettering is?

Edit: Is the picture inverted?

 

[petronius]

The picture is turned upside down.

 

[skucera]

Yes, it is upside-down. The reflections make much more sense if you flip it rightside-up.

The intention was, that it makes no sense at the first look.
Sometimes I want the viewer to get the feeling of "what am I looking at?"

I was certain the photo captured a discontinuity in the fabric of space-time.

You succeeded. 🙂 Please forgive me for doubting your intention.

Yesterday I visited a Zoo with my family. Shot a roll and started to change film, during the change I managed to drop my Rollei!
One meter, on concrete! It hit the ground with the upper front corner right above the finder and rolled over the lens onto the backside. I had the back removed for changing film.

To make it short, my Rollei seems OK! The top housing has a small dent above the finder, but that´s all. The show will go on!

My much-loved Rollei 35 has a little dent in the same place, so welcome to the club! You were lucky that the pressure plate hinges didn't get bent, as they are a real weak point.
