I found some more photos of Rouen, shot last year with different cameras - a Minolta AF reflex, a Reto Ultra Wide and the Sprocket Rocket.
Today, "Hotel de Bourgtheroulde", an gothic mansion from the 16th century.

and yes, the weather was not fantastic !
Here are the scans of my film that arrived crushed from Lomolab. We see the white stripes due to the folds, and the scans are not "flat". I didn't try to clean or flatten it. So the scan reacted as best it could. Really a shame, I had a lot of fun with the 85mm and the Dynax 7, I can only imagine the result when I got some normal negatives. The customer's service told me they were sorry.
“Lomolab: the lo-fi experience, even when you don’t want it.”
On a cloudy day we went to see Kloster Maulbronn. I was skeptical as to whether the photos would be anything at all... But surprisingly, the little AgfaPhoto produced quite usable photos!
Though I hope these brighten up your world, I gotta say my foray into monochrome was pretty much a disaster. Why you ask? Almost 500 frames, 5 cameras and lenses, and as many films, and this is the best of the lot. I don't know what went wrong. Despite my painstaking attempts at composition and exposure, at least half my frames came out completely unrecognizable. Most were too dark to make out anything, even though I tried to err on the side of overexposure. My equipment when shooting colour consistently makes bright, sharp images, but some rolls on my black and white misadventure didn't contain a single keeper. I'm not going to list/tag all the films and gear used. I can't remember what was what anyhow. But in all sincerety- I hope you get more out of this mess than I do.
I wanted to see what a red filter would do. So i shot two full rolls only using the red filter. And i also was happy with my first test of stand development so i tried it again. The results werent as good but im still happy with quite a few of the pictures! :)
My street photography is more like a still life - mostly without people. Data protection and the right to one's own image are very present in Germany. You get in trouble quickly...
Imagine the Lomo LC-A, but made by Minolta, with the same look & size, with a Minolta lens, entirely autofocus, and still with automatic exposure. Result : wide angle sharp photos with low distorsion and vignetting. A perfect street tool.
