Ok, es ist Sommer!

Ich habe gerade Lust mal wieder in meiner Landessprache zu schreiben, but I will mix it with english for all the Flickr friends! Ich muss sagen, I love my LEICA CL. Klar, digital geht schneller und die guten DSLR´s haben auch schon sehr gute Sensoren, aber wenn ich mir Bücher ansehe oder Hefte über Fotografie, dann gefallen mir meistens die Bilder, die mit analogen Kameras gemacht wurden (insofern man das überhaupt noch unterscheiden kann). Vielleicht deshalb, weil man so viele “schlechte” digitale  Schnappschüsse um die Ohren gehauen bekommt.
Eine unglaublich übersättigte Farbenflut strömt Tag für Tag auf uns ein. Im Internet wie auch auf der Strasse und in den Geschäften. Vielleicht ist die analoge Fotografie etwas exotischer geworden in der schnelllebigen digitalen Welt. Ansonsten kann man sich über dieses Thema (digital oder analog) streiten und sogar langweilen. Wie auch immer, ich denke,  ein gutes Bild ist ein gutes Bild, das kann man am Ende auch mit einem iPhone machen.

It was a very nice sunday. First warm day in this year I think. I had time and 4 rolls of Neopan 400. I took the LEICA CL and the Olympus OM-2 with a 50mm and a 24mm glass. The pictures are sometimes a little bit overexposed, I found out that overexposing is good for night pictures, but not for a sunny day. ;) ! Sorry for the wrong order of the pictures, I had not the time to sort them. I walked from Mannheim Neckarstadt to the Jungbusch area and then into the city (Quadrate).

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.

Fleamarket

I went to a fleamarket last weekend. I had my Leica CL with me. Ilford Delta 400 film loaded. Not the best joice for a bright sunny day. But that´s the price you have to pay when you shoot analoque. Anyway, I walked through all these people selling all this stuff. A perfect place to find nice scenes. The problem for me was to filter good pictures out of this big chaos you can see all around. So I put my CL on F/16 and changed between 1/250 and 1/500. After I get back this film from the shop, I didn´t like all the bright white parts because they look overexposed. I don´t have much expierience in different film types so I have to try another one next time. Also my plan is to buy a scanner and develop my stuff on my own, because of the control of my negatives and because the CL eats my money! 4,50 € for the film, 7,00 € (!!!) for the scans. In case, I like the photographs and I see me in a big learning process which I very like!
