Finally, roll of Kodak Double X developed (in a lab this time).

First shots made using Praktica! I'm pretty excited, hope for the best.

That white stuff so rarely seen this winter

Icy spikes + red filter

Industrial structure on relatively long exposure (1/4 of a second)

Well, need a good sunny day to adjust lightmeter in the Praktica and it should be 90% usable (for some reason self timer stopped working after I removed and then reattached shutter assembly, but I mostly don't care to fix it)

Rocks in Permet
Delta 100 developed in Rodinal 1+100

Absolutely love these two snaps. Same roll of Delta 100, shots made using Canon Sureshot Zoom XL. The first one I deliberately snapped against the sun to see how the camera lens will do in such conditions. I think Canon stood the challenge like a champ.

#Bydgoszcz on Delta 100

Tinkering with Praktica MTL3, lightmeter not working, mirror sticking sometimes.

As it turned out there were some loose bolts, and one missing in the mirror mechanism (fortunately found that bugger inside camera body). I think it may be caused by vibrations provoked by shutter and mirror movements

I thought that I won't be able to get an image from sexond photo, but it turned out not that bad. My camera in manual setting defaults to 1/125s so I accidentally underexposed. The brighter one was taken at desired 1/30s (Rikenon 50mm at f4)

Lovely dragon shaped tap from Neuschwanstein (I hope i spelled that name correctly)) on hp5 pushed to 1600. Developed in Rodinal.

Unfortunately they don't let making photos with "professional" cameras (revue ac4) without permit that has to be requested 10 days before the visit.

I guess I'll stick to fomapan for a while, cheap, nice contrasts and easy to develop (this one was done in plain simple Rodinal)

work hard, play hard

What a lovely tap. I guess it's my favorite photo taken on Pentax-M 135/3.5 by now.

Ilford hp5 pushed to 1600iso.
