Photowalk in Aalborg with expired film Agfa Vista 400

This was shot a couple of months back, just as the Covid 19 lock-down in Denmark was starting to take effect, i took a walk in normal rush hour, around the busiest place in town, the train station, and that is where it really hit me, how much everyday life had changed.

Pictures shot on the Pentax Spotmatic SP II with some expired Agfa vista film from 2003. I really really love the colors on that combo !

Ababandoned school with the Olympus MJU II

I recently acquired the Olympus MJU II, cause i really really wanted to! 😉 and sometimes that is plenty reason(If you dont ask the wife! 🙂 ). And recently i finally got to test it out in the real world, while exploring an old abandoned school in my hometown of Aalborg, Denmark. It is absolutely a very hyped camera, but it does really take good pictures and also under difficult lighting conditions.

Its shot with the Lomography 400 movie, which is one of my favorite budget films!

I’m selling my Pentax 645, so time to play with product photography

That special time in a mans life, when you discover you have to many cameras :). I love my Pentax , but i bought to many cameras, and something has to go, and with that lens, its REALLY Heavy. I love the picture quality it delivers, but as many others i’m not fan of the button controls. They work fine, but they are not fast or intuitive. When you first pick it up, you might think its broken, because you are not able to change a lot of settings. Then you start googling, until you find a blog post like this, that tells you that you need a film loaded to change a lot of the settings.

I actually just sold it, so this is my goodbye pictures 🙂 Shot with a bit of black card board as background, and a single soft box on my Fuji film X-H1. And i am actually pretty happy with the result. Farewell my beautiful Pentax 645 and my heavy 80-160 zoom 🙂

Some landscape in Rebild Bakker with Pentax 645, Portra 400, Fuji Pro 400H, Lomography 100, Fomapan 400

Rebild bakker is one of the most beautiful places in Denmark, and well worth a visit if you ever find yourself in Northern Jutland Denmark. I had not been there in ages, and decided it was time for a little hike through the hills to enjoy the scenery in “Golden Hour”. And i thought, what can be better for a hike, than bringing my heaviest cameras, yes “plural”. So i Brought my Bronica SQ-Ai with 150mm Lens, which i just got a new SQ-A house for, and lets just say, i left that one in the car, after it got stuck after a couple of shots……….and the other backup camera i brought was my Pentax 645 with the GINORMOUS 80-160(Im danish, im excused for making up english words). But see the picture down below, where i lined it up next to my Fujifilm X-100f :). Its a monster, but it usually delivers ! And the 80-160 its the only lens i have for it, so it could probably be a lot smaller with a prime, plus its actually a really good workout in these covid19 times, where the fitness centers are closed.

I brought several rolls of film to test something different, so i brought Portra 400, Fuji Pro 400H, Lomography 100 and some Fomapan 400. I have added picures from the different films below, so you can see for yourself. And now for some Portra 400 shots, all taken with the heavy Pentax 645, which i lugged around these beautiful hills, while huffing and puffing 🙂

Next up we have the Fuji pro 400H, shot on the same heavy gear 🙂

And almost finally we have a few shots from the Lomograpy 100 120 film, i actually like that film quite a lot, its a good cheap alternative to the more expensive Portra/Fuji series, making it accessible to most people! 🙂

And finally we have the Fomapan 400, the only black and white guest film of the day. Im not especially fond of Fomapan 400 for landscape, and the pictures below did not change that opinion, it just gets to grainy for my taste. Might be me doing something wrong in the development, it like Fomapan for gritty street and portrait, but not for landscape.
