The Oberbaumbrücke and the icy Spree, Berlin.

MP, 24 Elmarit-M Asph, Tri-X.

This picture reminded me of the following picture I have taken 6 years ago from a boat with my M4-P, Cron 35 on SIlvermax 100. As you might know, on this bridge was a border control during the existence of the GDR. I entered West-Berlin as a 16 year old over this bridge for the first time on November 10th 1989 with hundreds of people and remember the situation very well. When we were slowly progressing, a woman out of the crowd entered a stair on which stood a border guard from East Germany with his rifle and the woman approached him and placed a red rose in the barrel of his gun. The was a happy applauding, but unfortunately I had no camera on me...

Wow, James. To have had a camera at that time...... I would dearly have loved to have photographed that period in history.  I was just starting a 3 year Germany posting with the military far to the West, near Mönchengladbach, at that time.  I should have made more of the opportunities but I wasn't that much into photography then!

Here is another (mediocre!) shot looking the other way from the bridge. Same camera and film combo.

Here is an image taken with my Leica R 90 mm Summicron lens, Leica R7 Camera, using Adox ISO 20 B&W film.

 

The fine composition with this perfectly balanced black&white elaboration make this picture a timeless piece of art. Thank you very much for sharing this jewel of photography here!

Here comes another attempt in merging some picture to form a panoramic impression. You see the small town Motovun in Istria / Croatia. This picture consists of three exposures, merged in Lightroom:

There are seemingly always people demonstrating for and against all sorts of things at the Dam square in central Amsterdam. Not sure exactly what these ones would be called but Nostalgobolsheviks perhaps?

Cinestill 50..... I am really unsure about this film, the 800 version is much better I think, also Velvia and Ektar are just so much better again

Out of curiousity - what is "Ektar X1?"

I see that in online ads...but it seems to just mean buying 1 roll from a 5-roll box? Or is that a special EU film type?

Great Rog-browsing through your Wunderkammer has been successful again.... 

But, IMHO: as reading from left to right is a cultural choice ---here  I would like to feel free to read and experience  this from right to left--a much more pleasurable story. (I wonder if anyone tried to  read "Die Verwandlung" from the end... it  changes Everything ! )

Totally notorious--read Die Verwandlung from the end! Now, you are a film editor, too! The blossoming of the family, especially Greta, fast on the death of poor Gregor, discarded as so much foul debris by the charwoman. One problem, though it didn't get in the narrative way of Sunset Boulevard, recounting the drama from the dead screenwriter's POV--with Gregor dead, his POV narrative is problematic. Never mind. So let's do something like a Raymond Chandler and open with Gregor's demise and continue with Greta and her unstated good prospects for finding a man. This, then, underscores the irony of the health and well-being of the family becoming more vital as Gregor declines and dies. Flash back to the beginning, now. The complexity of this duality is emphasized even from the very beginning when simultaneously Gregor provides the point of view, which alternates with the objective point of view watching and reporting on Gregor himself. In other words, the subjective alternates with the objective. It is notable that the window through which Gregor views the outside world only affords him a blurred vision--Philip is watching this--obscured by rain, a signpost that surrealism and realism are likewise blurred. Much to be ventured in Carolin Duttlinger's Kafka and Photography (Oxford P.) A daring enterprise, reading Die Verwandlung in reverse, two steps back, then one forward, thinking of Memento? Maybe we gear up The Penal Colony with tattoos?

Wow Antonio. That is a sharp lens. I wish I could cure my A1 of that darn shutter or is it mirror squeak. It's such a fun camera to shoot but mine sounds like pressing a rubber duck when it fires.

Really nice James. That merge went very well. Approx how much do you overlap the frames when shooting?

Lovely shot and framing. As much as I really liked the tiny and somehow "crystalline" grain of Cinestill 50 I just couldn't accept the crud that always was on the frames.

Really beautiful Christoph. C'est l'amour (I think).
