here are a few
more photographs from our walk last saturday: after strolling along the river we ended up on
a frozen lake in the middle of a forest - I wish the trees had some snow left on their branches but the wind had apparently blown it away. the sun wasn't warm at all and it didn't go high above the horizon: it was as fascinating as
a cold and slow sunset.
Diana Mini - Ilford Delta 3200:
my first darkroom prints of 2013.
I love the grain of the Ilford Delta 3200 but it has a really low contrast - which I tried to fix by printing with a very high filter. yet the grayness of the film and the soft focus of the Diana Mini aren't always working well together and I still believe
the Diana matches better with colour film. I have started looking for a camera
as precise as my Nikon FM but in square format and
as rigorous as my Mamiya RB67 but more portable and I already have something in my mind - like if I didn't have enough cameras yet.
I wish I could work as a landscape photographer: it would be brilliant!

wow, thank you so much, Lindsey Louise! :-) actually we don't have so many pictures hanging on the walls - since the apartment is not so big, we like to keep it quite minimalistic. ;-)
DeleteI must say, I do love the moodiness of winter that's captured in these wonderful photos, dear P!

thank you, dear Charlyn! I am glad to hear so! :-)
DeleteWhen you see the first picture as a smaller version or if you look at it by squinting your eyes you can clearly see the upper part of a face in it!
ReplyDeleteoh really? :-) at first glance I couldn't see it, but now I think I know what you mean: is the sun supposed to be the nose?
DeleteThe forest around the sun are the eyes and the sun the starting point of the nose.
Deleteyes! :-) now I can see that! it's interesting to look at a photograph this way!
Deletewow, it is nice to see what diana mini can do. i like these!
ReplyDeleteshe's a lovely toy camera, but you can never be too sure about how the pictures will turn out eventually! ;-)
Deletethank you, Maja!

thank you for your kind words! :-)
DeleteI am glad to read that my photographs are a way for you to look at Finnish landscape!

Ahhh they look like from the 1940s home videos! I think they look great with the grain as well. You would have amazing collection if you were a landscape photographer polly :)
ReplyDeleteaw, thank you so much, dear Celsy! I am glad you think so! :-)
DeleteThese images are so beautiful, you feel like you could step into them and be in a word full of snow and ice. The texture is amazing. Thanks for creating them and sharing :-)
