This is an oldie. Well, relatively speaking. I took this photo (with my Vivitar 35ES on Kodak Tri-X) last summer, on festival ‘De Parade’. The one on top was shot in the dark. I used a fence (you can see that behind the tables and people on the second photograph) as a makeshift tripod. It didn’t do a great job, but who cares. I still like it, and it did catch the mood of the moment really well. It makes me look forward to this summer. Bring it on!

Ahoy matey!

Saw this while taking a walk at the local harbour a while ago. Just in case you’re having a hard time figuring out what the hell these things are: they’re buoys, stacked one some sort of dredging ship. And no, I didn’t draw the smiley face! Mine would’ve been a lot prettier anyway ;)

Shot with my Vivitar 35ES on Kodak Tri-X.

Some black and white street shots

Well, the title says it all, doesn’t it?

They’re shot on Ilford HP5 and Kodak Tri-X, with my Vivitar 35ES rangefinder. I had these scanned professionally as a 2500 dpi tif file. It’s a world of difference between these scans and my own. I didn’t add the borders; they’re a result of the scanning process. I kind of liked them, so I decided not to crop them off.

There are three more photos below!

Oldskool photography


This is the first time in years I shot some images on film. I recently bought a Vivitar 35ES rangefinder and these pictures are the result of it’s first test run. It is really awkward to shoot film again. I have to admit that I’m a bit lazy when it comes to aligning horizontal lines correctly while shooting. It’s a lot easier to straighten photos in Lightroom. It’s a bad idea to do this while shooting film though, as you can see on the photos.

Anyway, I really enjoy this little camera. And shooting film is fun too. There is a downside though. I’m really (unpleasantly) surprised by the cost of developing film and printing the photos. I’ll have to find a solution for this if I want to continue to shoot on film.

Well, enough with the talking. Check out the photos after the jump. I used Ilford Delta 400 for these photos if anyone cares ;)
