Marstal

Arrived in the early afternoon in Marstal, after some hours of wonderful sailing in sunshine and with 5Bft, The boat is amazing, keeps a solid course and is very fast.

Towards the afternoon the wind got less, around 7kn, but the boat still made nice 6.7kn (if I remember correctly)

In the evening enjoyed the shower… and found out that the most valuable coin is the 20 DK one (the one needed by the shower)

Heiligenhafen

Arrived in Heiligenhafen and took over the boat, and went shopping, all the food and drinks for 2 weeks… and all this without a car. Ok, we should have taken a Taxi, instead we decided to drive the shopping cards to the marina… and then back.

After supplying the boat we debated if we should leave in the afternoon or wait for the next morning. The decision was to stay over night in Heiligenhafen so that we do not start on the first day with 6-7 Bft,

We take the Train

Ok, Sitting in the train now, after waiting in a pub for roughly 1h… and then additional 30 min on the concourse (or however this is called).

Travelling the first time since years with the ICE, and then a 90 min delay. And it arrived and left on a different track than announced. A man across the aisle in panic. He does not believe it’s the train to Hamburg. A family is fighting over the last bottle of water in the train. Mad Max…

All this not this bad, we are in the train, have seats… what could go wrong ? Oh wait… the train is going in the wrong direction. The train driver’s AC broke down, now they need to rearrange the engines. Anyhow, some 15 min later back in NUE, on the right path to the North!

Live position tracking

The position will get updated every 10min, over satellite (Iridium), unless somebody switches this off…

4kg Camera equipment

Aloha. Yes, we’ll start soon… and I packed my backpack with all needed geeky stuff, lenses, 2 cameras (as I take an old film camera as well with me), tablet, charger, satellite comms, etc…

And then the zipper of my backpack broke, so I had to get a new one. Here you go:

Good enough for 2 small cameras and a set of lenses

Ready for the trip. All my precious in there… my precious…

Ilford Ortho+ 8. Februar 2020
I shot for the first time the new Ilford Ortho Plus, and developed (as well for the first time) in Rodinal, using stand development for 1h – in a 1+100 mix. Quite happy with the result, despite the one or other glitch or dust particle.
Pinhole FTW! 6. Februar 2020
Had some days ago the idea to build a pinhole camera. Not 3D print it, this would be too easy, but build it, out of wood. There are a number of quite nice pinhole cameras out there, but I found the price a bit too high. SO I started to read the internets, looking for […]
Beijing 2004 19. Januar 2020
This is an amazing collection of photos shot by my friend (and my personal photography super hero) Axel Händler in Beijing in 2004. He used a Nikon F3 HP, with a Nikkor 50/1.4.
A foggy winter day 6. Januar 2020
I took this picture as well close to Berchtesgaden, on my way home from skiing. It was around 10:00 in the morning, and a very shy sun was slowly warming up the air. Unfortunately I had only a BW film in my camera, so I didn’t caught the wonderful golden color.
Obersalzberg with the analog medium format camera 4. Januar 2020
Used the Zenza Bronica with a 80mm lens and a T-Max 100 film, later developed and scanned at home… the non square ones were shot with the M240, inside the Salt Mine of Hallein.
The Moon and the Mountains 4. Januar 2020
Pictures from the Berchtesgaden area. Shot with a M240 and a wonderful Voigtländer Ultron 35/2.
First shots with the Bronica 4. Januar 2020
First ones with the Bronica, on Kodak Protra 400, home developed and scanned.
Bronica SQ-A 4. Januar 2020
Got a new medium format toy. Shooting the Bronica is so much fun. Unfortunately, I didn’t got the metering finder yet, but I am sure it will arrive in a few days. One of the main reasons for the Bronica was the size (smaller than the Pentacon Six), exchangeable lenses, and most important, exchangeable film […]
Color Film Development 4. Januar 2020
I’ve started some month ago with color film development. Was quite hesitant initially, as I’ve been told that the C41 process is not as simple as the B/W. Anyhow, reading blogs and forums helps, and so I decided to try it out. Purchasing the color kits is not easy nowadays. There was a shortage, and […]
Analog Photography 10. Dezember 2019
Ok, it’s been a while since I had the time to write something… Meanwhile, quite some progress with the enlarger. After ordering some 30×40 multigrade paper I learned that you need some special filters. Papers have apparently a default gradation (2 for the Adox EasyPrint), but this might not be what you want. However, the […]
