Hi. Happy new year by the way. It´s 2010!
I got a OLYMPUS OM-2 with a 50mm, f/1.8 glass on it. I really like this camera. Also I got tired of waiting for my scans, so I bought a scanner. A CANON CanoScan 8800f. It´s a good scanner so far but it´s very slow. So I traded time for money. But I think it was a good decision because I really like film. I can´t really explain, but taking pictures with film is different. I need more time for the whole thing. Buying film, loading the camera, developing (not myself), scanning (now myself) and some correction like cropping the negative scans some colour correction and (hopefully) a good hand for sharpening and dust removing. That takes time. But its the same with all the analog stuff like vinyl or tube amplifiers and so on. It´s a different feeling and you have somehow the feeling to get something real, something, that is not 0 and 1. So, here are some test shots with the Olympus on cheap 400 ISO colourfilm I bought at ROSSMANN for 0,99 Euros scanned with my new Canon 8800f.

Hiking 20 kilometers on January the 2nd. We had perfect weather, some snow and it was cold. It was a great day, we walked from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
These are the pictures I made with the Lumix LX3. I had the LEICA CL with me but I still have to wait for the scans. I´ll post them later.

Happy new year. All the best for 2010.
Here are the pictures I took in December 2009. It´s a selection of the best pictures of 3 or 4 series.

I think this is the last post for 2009. Took some pictures with my LEICA CL. I bought some film. Ilford HP5 and XP2, NEOPAN 400, Tri-X 400 and a roll of APX 100. It´s a test for me, to find out the difference between those B/W films. You can find the scans here next year. I will take pictures at my holiday, you know 
Have a great X-Mas time and a happy new year. Thanks for visiting and all the best for you. CU next year!

Nothing special. Sometimes when I have to learn new songs or when I write my own stuff, I have to get out and have a walk. Sometimes with my iPod and the new music I wrote. Sometimes with my LEICA CL and some film. I love the look of film. For me it has a little more soul than digital photography. It´s expensive when you don´t have a scanner, so, the most time I take digital pictures. I think about buying a scanner for my MacBook Pro. It´s not easy to find the right one. I think the best scanners are the Nikon scanners. But there is a cheaper one called QUATO IntelliScan for Macs that may be good for my kind of workflow. I´ll think about it.
