Beetle grave yard with Bronica SQ-AI og Fuji Pro 400

Posted on 31/03/2020 by admin

Another day, another day with new images. This is actually some of my favorite images shot on film. Its a damn weird place. Its placed in a small forest, close to a larger road near Aalborg, Denmark, but its really hard to see from the road. I knew it was supposed to be there, but we still managed to miss it a couple of times. If there was leaves on the trees we would never have found it.

I don’t know the story behind the place, I tried finding some information online, but no luck. Looks like some hermit used to live there perhaps, but it is in total ruin now. A couple of rusted camping wagons, a small totally trashed shed, and then a whole lot of rusted beetles.

Pictures all shot on my untrusty Bronica SQ-AI + My first real try with Fuji Pro 400h. Developed at lab, and scanned at home on my Epson 550.

Film Learnings: This is an amazing film, color, details and grain is just out of this world. You know why its a “Premium” film. This is a 400 Film, but I shot it at 200, after good advice

If I could afford it, this would be one of my go to films, but for now, I’m saving the rest, for a some special occasion! 🙂 But Damnnnnnn its good.

Trip with Bronica SQ-AI + Lomography 800

Posted on 30/03/2020 by admin

Another day, another blogpost, lets see how long I can hold that up that pace. But that’s ok, I write this because I love taking pictures of any kind, and I like experimenting with many different kinds of camera gear, cause I’m a G.A.S driven nerd! I love both the tools and the output, and in my world that goes fine hand in hand.

This “pretty” plant is called “Nordjyllands Værket” located at the coast of “Limfjorden” in the northern part of Jutland, Denmark. Its the local power/heating plant, combined running mostly on coal ;( , and its the main theme of this little photo excursion.

Below you will find a collection of pictures from the day. All taken with the Bronica and Lomography 800.

Learnings: I have not tried the 120 version in tungsten light, but the 35mm version gets a greenish cast, that I find rather cool, but absolutely not natural colors. Another thing to watch out for is light leaks with this film, you really have to roll it up tight when you are done, and keep it in a dark place to avoid them.

I quite like the muted colorcast and the nice controlled grain, and details are pretty good. Its not as good as Portra 400/800 or Fujis pro series, but its nice with a highspeed film that is actually affordable. If you can get it that is, its sold out everywhere I have access to.

Talk about a day, where things go, not really as intended. Sitting here a Saturday evening in March, scanning negatives from January, cause things in analog photography takes the time it takes, enjoying a cold beer, and remembering a special … Continue reading →

Analogue trip to “The Horse shoe”

Posted on 28/03/2020 by admin

Finally got some pictures developed from a small excursion to a place named as in the head line, “The Horse shoe” i have no idea why its called that. But its a small weird place, nudged in between large power plant across the water, and large industry on both side. Its located on the coast of the “Limjord” in the nothern part of Denmark, near my hometown of Aalborg.

But its a small piece of nature in between all the industrial ugliness where people can access a small beach with good swimming possibilities. There is even an official snorkel lane, under the water. There is a lot of both small cottages, and great modern looking summerhouses in a small cluster of house in the middle.

Pictures are from January i think, just got them scanned now, but there is no exif with film 🙂 But its shot on Spotmatic f + Fujifilm Superia 400 home scanned on Epson V550
