Ooohhh... a whale! So beautiful...

can you tell me which camera+lens and film you used?


Sure. I think I am one of the few who ever ventured on a whale watching trip in subfreezing temperatures and piercing wind with only a leica M2 and a collapsible 50mm. I almost froze my fingers off fiddling with focusing ring, apertures, etc. I think the film was TMax 400 developed in Rodinal for my usual graininess. The whole series from that trip is here, if of any interest.

Thank you for your answer Andrea! Great camera and lens... and great photographer using the tools!


When I saw the picture I thought the film would be a Delta3200 or Tri-x forced two steps. I wouldn't think it it TMAX400, because I have always seen it with a very fine grain.


I know Rodinal and I know the grain you can get with it (I love it with FP4 Plus and Kentmere400) but it has been a surprise for me.


I have looking at your web (Tromso) and I loved it! Great gallery! Congrats!


I kew a man from Tromso... I think he still lives there... a good man.
