QL17 - first roll

[boesgaard]

My first experience with rangefinders, was when I bought a QL25 a couple of month's ago. Before I had shot my first roll with the QL25, I had already bought the smaller QL17 which I already can say that I prefer because of the smaller size, lower weight and faster lens.

I finally had my first roll procesed, and had it scanned by the lab. I myself am pretty impressed by the quality of the pictures. I actually think that these are the best analog photos ever.

At first the lightmeter did not work. I feared he worst, but in the end it was just a bit of corrosion on the battery-contacts. Even though the exposure is wrong, I still like he portrait (which is of myself taken by my older brother).

This is canal surrounding some old millitary buildings in Copenhagen. I like the colors from he setting sun.

Old church in Copenhagen. Composition is not that interesting, but I like the colors.


I'm looking forward to finish my next roll.

Best regards

The last one has very nice complimentary colours of orange and blue/grey. Nice results.

I especially like the phot of the church dome, but the canal shot also intriques me. I'm a bit lost by the perspective. How did you take this shot, from a helicopter?

p.s. compliment your brother on his portrait of you. Either one of my brothers would have intentionally "cut off my head". 😱

Hi

Thanks for the comments and compliments, I really appreciate them.

The picture of the canal is taken from above, not from a helicopter,but from a small bridge.

Best regards
