As I found some of the pictures of myself just so slightly unfavourable, I felt the need to counterbalance them a bit by an alternate vision. We do not want to scare potential joiners of our little meetings off, don't we? 😀

Unfortunately, there was no one around who could handle a Flexaret, so it had to be self portraits. It was an interesting experience.

HP5 stand developed in Caffenol, by the way. Reinholds recipe works well.

"Unfortunately, there was no one around who could handle a Flexare" --Yes, I have this happen to me also. I really don't like it that no one around me can operate anything but a Point-N-Shoot digital camera. Even the basics of just holding it steady and pressing the button after I make all the settings on it.

This is from Wurzberg, this past afternoon. Just wanted to share it with you guys because it's a small accomplishment for me. By finally realizing the need to set exposure for the subject you want to shoot, I am able to make the guys viewable even when the background will be blown out. It's understanding the smaller and simple details like this that make this more fun every day.
Shot with: Hasselblad 500C/M, 60mm Zeiss Distagon, Ektar 100 @ 1/125 F/4.

Interestingly, quite some people became curious about what I was doing and a few had a look through the viewfinder. There was even another TLR user, a young woman with a YashicaMat. She was quite curious about the Flexaret and could have taken a picture for sure, but by then I was already done with the self-portraits. Some days ago when I was on the street with the TLR, I met another guy, also with a YashicaMat and Tripod and we exchanged a silent greeting. Nice.

Could not agree more. Thanks for sharing!

Gorg, can you post the process for the Coffee development, or a link to a web site with the process you are using? I'd like to give it a try, maybe next weekend.

On last Saturday, Martin was so kind to introduce me to his monorail camera. Fascinating!

Hey, I found this thread by accident. I'm from Berlin, too. 'Been living here for about 20 years (which is most of my life -> I'm 24)... Signed up for this forum after buying my first rangefinder - A Canonet QL17....
 
Yes, I plan to visit again. Next week I must take my auto to the shop, then see what money is left, then I can visit. Maybe I bring the Hasselblad this time!
 
You became a calmer, shortspoken man on this spiritual journey - I can tell.

So what's up? Should we all celebrate a manly afternoon at - say - Clärchens Ballhaus or maybe the cake place?

Spiritual journey? I seem to have missed something. Celebration sounds good, I will bring a guest from Japan. When, where?
