This is a field report of my first ever free camera. I found the Ricoh online in our local marketplace listed by someone who wanted to give it away. I am glad he gave it away because I would have probably not paid for it.
We lived in Vienna for more than three months in autumn of 2023 when we were visiting the technical university of Vienna, TU Wien. It was here that I really became interested in smartphone photography, and I am happy for that.
Here are some photos of the riots and demonstrations while we visited Paris in March 2023.
Here is a collection of photos I took in 2023 during our two visits to Paris to visit V.
It is not so often I get the chance to photograph a whole day. I did this on a Saturday in August when the Norwegian American car festival was celebrating their 50th year. I went there with my Rolleiflex and came back with five rolls of exposed film.
It is always so fun to bring to life a camera that you thought was dead junk. This Voigtländer Brillant from 1933 is probably the oldest camera I have. It is mainly a simple light-tight box with a lens. But it is still capable of taking some very nice photos in 6x6 format on 120 film.
My search for a 645 medium format camera ended with the Bronica ETRSi, mainly because of all the lovely photos taken with Zenzanon lenses that I saw on Instagram, but also because of its price. Now I am the happy owner of this camera and have already used it a lot. Time to start a field report!
Do you like the idea of a large-format view camera but don't want to jump into developing and handling large-format negatives? This was my idea when I bought a Horseman VH a year ago. This is a medium-format technical or view camera that has a good range of movements and allows you to get very close to large-format experience but stay within your 120 workflow.
I live close to the Gløshaugen campus of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), which is also where I work. I take a lot of photos in this area. The area has a mixture of parks and architecture.
I have acquired a 4x5 back for my Horseman VH view camera to be able to shoot instant photos on expired FP100c and FP3200b. What do you think about that? Here I write my informal experience report from this exercise.
