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.
