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.

tags: 1.8, 400, 50mm, 8800f, analog, cl, leica, Mannheim, neopan, night, om-2, photography, scanner, steet, summicron-c, urban

This pictures reminds me a bit to a picture of Anthony Suau.
The winner of the WORLD PRESS PHOTO 2009
Here is the picture.

Took a lot of shots the last weeks. Had no time to post them. Played some gigs with different bands and between the rehearsals and shows I sometimes have time to take some pictures. I took more pictures on the road with my digital camera. So, this is the post of my scanned Neopan 400 negatives. I took very much digital pictures with my LX3 from some gigs and trips. I´ll post the best of them in the next post. Here is the analog stuff. Click the picture for a bigger view and the description.

Sunny sunday

tags: 24mm, 400, 40mm, 50mm, 8800f, canon, cl, innenstadt, jungbusch, leica, Mannheim, neckarstadt, neopan, olympus, om-2, streetphotography, summicron-c, tokina, zuiko

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).

Street & urban

categories: Mannheim, Single pictures
tags: 400, 8800f, canon, cl, colours, compare, film, fuji, heidelberg, leica, Mannheim, negative, neutral, red, rossmann, scanner, scans, street, summicron, summicron-c, superia, urban, vision

Bought 2 rolls of Fuji Superia 400 and took some pictures in Heidelberg and Mannheim. Compared the negative scans to cheap ROSSMANN 400 film. I have to say there IS a difference. I really like the Superia colours. The ROSSMAN film has much more red and the Superia looks more neutral to me. So, I DON`T think that ROSSMANN 400 film ist the same as Fuji Superia! Here are some ROSSMANN Scans.
And here the Superia pictures taken with a LEICA CL, Summicron-C, 40mm, scanned with a CANON 8800f.

France 2008

category: Trips
tags: cl, colour, cosprons, film, france, fuji, leica, montepellier, photography, rossmann, summicron-c, superia

I found some pictures of a trip to France in 2008. I´m tired of all that snow here and I´m missing the sun. So, maybe this summertime pictures can produce some summer feeling. We went to France in 2008, by plane to Montepellier, were we stayed the first night and ran into a techno party. Next day we took the train to Cosprons. It´s in south France almost in Spain. We lived in the house of a friend and we had a great week with sunshine and great food. Our friend (Christian) really knows how to cook. All pictures taken with a LEICA CL, 40mm Summicron-C, and cheap ROSSMANN 400 ISO Film. Some people say this film is nothing else than a Fuji Superia but I´m not sure if this is right. The scans were made by the developer-shop.

Last post 2009

categories: Live Music, Mannheim
tags: cl, dmc, film, leica, lumix, lx3, music, panasonic, photography, streetphotography, summicron

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!

Roll #2

categories: Allgemein, Single pictures
tags: 40mm, cl, film, leica, Mannheim, photography, summicron-c, urban

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.

Roll #1

category: Single pictures
tags: 400ISO, analog, cl, colour, film, leica, streetphotography, urban

I finished a roll that I had in my Leica CL. Nothing special, some street and a sort of William Eggleston style stuff.
Sometimes when I sat for hours in my stinky room trying to write songs or produce them, I have to take a walk through the city, the park or somewere else. The best moment to take the camera with me. Fresh air and some creative relaxing.

Fleamarket

categories: Doku, Series
tags: 400, 40mm, black, cl, delta, film, fleamarket, ilford, leica, summicron-c, white

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!
