‘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 …

P.P.S.: The video thing is what I haven’t done before, not loading the Contax T with film :-)

P.P.P.S.: Reportedly, dm Paradies 100 slide film is rebadged Kodak Elitechrome 100. Since I just sent in a roll of Elitechrome for processing, I’ll next shoot the Paradies to see if they’re really the same.

One from back in June, when the weather was still nice. We’ve head a pretty consistently overcast, cool and rainy July, with temperatures going as low as 10° C … *shiver* Only since yesterday it’s getting warmer and sunnier again. To brighten everyone’s mood, here are some summer colours sprinkled with a bit of Zeiss Planar magic :-)

Update: reader GH guessed correctly: it’s a Contax T!

Yesterday, after some heavy rain, the water that came down from the hills decided not to stay in the sewers, but instead make its way up through the tarmac and onto the street. This is how it looked like:

They decided to dig up the road the same evening and kept digging until way past midnight. Well, at least it was fixed this morning … just in time, as it started raining again later today.

Gummy bears. And the joy of a little boy is complete :-)
