Emil and Jasmin have been decorating the christmas tree today — our first one ever!

Olympus E-P1 + Lumix 20/1.7 @ f/1.7, 1/80 sec, ISO 800

This reminds me of something — I still can’t get why Olympus, creating a camera as highly customizeable as the E-P1, never thought of integrating an option for setting a custom slowest shutter speed. This picture could’ve easily been taken at 1/20 second with the help of the image stabilizer (which I have always activated).

When I looked out the window this morning, I saw one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen around here. (Not to compare to those I saw in Anatolia back in 2006, of course …)

Of course I wouldn’t have a camera with me when a beautiful autumn scene like this turns up. Luckily I almost always carry a cellphone, so I took this picture with its rather crappy little camera. I love the contrast of yellow autumn leaves and bright blue sky – this would’ve come out especially nicely on Kodak Elite Chrome, I reckon.

While September and early October both were still warm and sunny, in the second half of October the weather suddenly turned ugly. Chilly, rainy, misty, typical autumn weather of the region. This is what it looks like on any given autumn morning in Marburg.

It starts dancing when you put it under a light source. My dad alyways has these great ideas for presents …

Wowzers! It’s already September? Well, fitting the rather gray and dull early autumn weather we’re currently experiencing, here’s a recent shot taken on Lucky 100 b&w film.

A rosebud flower. I love the colour of these!

This morning, a helicopter landed right in front of our house, on the lawn of the police station on the opposite side of the street. You can imagine how exciting this was for Emil!

I also made a video of the helicopter landing, which I will later upload to YouTube.

‘s go shootin’ baby!

Sony Ericsson Elm cellphone camera

Still got to try Astia 100F and Velvia 100F, the latter about which I heard many good things. Sensia 100 didn’t knock me off my socks (scans will follow when I received my new scanner), so I doubt I’ll love Astia. But since my goal is to try every currently available slide film once …

P.S.: I’m going to make a tutorial video on how to load the Contax T with film this week. Never done this before, so I’m curious to see how that goes …
