Bought this marvelous film with cheap price 🙌 in 2015 at hipercat lab Bandung which owned by @fajaryayat and developed at the same place but re-scan at Chandra Foto Bandung
i´m so so relieved that i can take great shots with this cam!!! anyway i still don´t know the secret of it. i will now switch the lens and try to do the same things i did with this roll: pull the bellows really hard to the end, use a tripod. i guess all of you that already took great and sharp shots didn´t always use a tripod but amazingly i took 5/6 with a tripod and the only one without is blurry. btw: @LSI next time you produce a new cam pls leave me a personal message so i can tell you upfront things you have to consider concerning tripod socket thread, release, viewer,… - it´s my 2nd roll and i used a tripod for 5 shots and already a screw went through the hole in the aluminium and therefore it´s already warped :(((
I was lucky enough to join Vicuna, his brother Gérard and a bunch of wonderful people on a recent trip to Burkina Faso. This is the first album and an encounter of the Northern town of Nouna. Here, Gérard and his Partners, from the French city of Saint Priest and Germanys Mühlheim, are active in developing aid for more then ten years. One of the prime examples are these fountains, that can be easily used by spinning the wheel and which operate through a closed pipe-system, so the water can not be spoiled or infected through an open part. There is also a clever maintenance system. Villagers pay a small fee for using the fountains, like a flatrate pass. This money goes to technicians, who come from the village and who were educated to repair the fountains. Once a device breaks down, they are able to buy the needed parts and fix it...
Latest result from "multiple portrait series" which is one of my series work throughout four seasons in my country. This time I tried integrating a model with spring subjects such as "Ume" (Japanese apricot) blossoms (shot in Gifu). Shot the model (Megumi Inanaga) in Tokyo.
Few months ago I started looking at the skyscrapers on my way to work with different eyes and asked myself why I had never made a good use of the city patterns. For the story behind the pics: http://andrejrusskovskij.com/?p=2783
1st attempt with light painting/writing - the canvas was much bigger that I imagine, some pictures aren't squares (?!), forgot some lights on at first and managed to bend some negs - still, I'm happy, I can do it! :D
I filled my hand luggage with two heavy, all metal mechanical cameras with a combined age of over 80 and as much black and white film as the bag could take. I hauled it from Scotland to #India, then from the south to the north.
I like collecting and using old cameras and lenses. I love the sense that someone before me has looked through the viewfinder and seen the world in their own way. There is something, maybe to do with their age or the precise mechanics that gives them a personality. They almost become my friends. I love the process of analogue photography and the time it takes to develop the film and produce an image... It is not instant.
So often in the streets of India I would take someone’s picture and straight away they would ask me to turn the camera around to see their photo on a digital screen. I disappointed so many children when all they saw was the leather and chrome back of my #Minolta. They couldn’t quite understand why the image was not instant.
