Hello, is anyone going out to take photos today? I am going out with my son Matteo (7 months). We have a warm sunny day here (10°C!!) and I am going out with my Pentacon Six and a Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Flektogon lens with a yellow filter. I have no 35mm film for my Contax IIIa so I will try some landscapes today. Is anyone planning a photo trip too? I expect to develop photos tonight, so if you are doing the same feel free to share your sunday photos here 🙂
 
I went out yesterday, shot half a roll - it was -4C, today the high is expected to be -8C
there is a reason you don't see much great winter street photography - it's damn cold out there, not too many people out there, the metal cameras suck the remaining warmth out of your hands, etc...
I may try again today - this time with ski pants and chemical hand warmers added
 
Went with Carol the GF to her fathers 80th birthday ... where various family members congregated to make the day special for him because his health is poor and he may not see 81.

Took the OM-2 with 50mm and 85mm lenses and Neopan 400 to capture some images for the family ... it felt good to do something like this. These sorts of occasions make me glad I'm a photographer. 🙂
 
Well after the theater yesterday evening I was able to develop an old roll of fomapan 100, I hope to scan it tonight, after shipping a Contax III with two lenses to a fellow RFF member and friend on the other side of the world 🙂

This surely feels good, I can relate that photos are a living memory of our lives and families, I wish I could take a few B&W photos of my grandfather when I was in Sicily in 2006. I did of my grandma, but somehow didn't found a good occasion to take some shots of the grandpa. He left this world about half a year ago at 94, so that's quite a pity I couldn't see him before he passed away.

I hope you've had an excellent time with your loved ones 🙂
